EUR/AUD, GBP/AUD: Fed rate cuts, China stimulus add to downside risks
There’s a lot of excitement in Chinese markets about the latest stimulus measures to address flagging economic growth. Given it’s often used as a proxy for those traders looking to play China without directly investing in China, this type of environment should benefit cyclical currencies such as the Australian dollar.
GBP/AUD stretched and nearing known reversal area
GBP/AUD is rarely as overbought as it is right now. And when it has been this overbought in the recent past, it’s usually coincided with a near-term top.

Australian dollar has nothing to do with tech stocks, so why should it track them?
Considering the rally in cyclical assets following the soft US inflation report, the steep reversal in AUD/USD comes across as a little strange.

GBP/AUD set for a big rally?
So far this month, commodity currencies including the Australian and Canadian dollars had performed rather well. However it looks like that good run of form has come to an end for these currencies thanks to struggling metal and oil prices. With RBNZ due to make its policy decision later on tonight, the New Zealand dollar could also come under pressure in the event the central bank delivers a dovish policy statement. Metal prices are undermined in part because of a stronger US dollar, thanks to a hawkish Federal Reserve. With the Bank of England also turning hawkish, the AUD could fall against both the USD and GBP.
