Aussie Dollar rebounds from two-week low against US Dollar following job report mix-up

The Australian Dollar received a minor boost from mixed Australian employment data on Thursday. Despite an increase in the number of employed people by 50.2K, the Unemployment Rate also rose to 4.1%. Additionally, the emergence of USD buying kept any significant upside for the AUD/USD pair in check. The recent downward trend of the Australian Dollar can be attributed to various factors such as economic challenges in China and falling copper prices. However, the recent slump in the US Dollar helped limit losses for the AUD/USD pair, as the USD Index dropped to a four-month low due to dovish Federal Reserve expectations.

Market analysts believe that the Federal Reserve will likely cut interest rates in September and again in December, leading to lower US Treasury bond yields. This, coupled with a risk-on environment, has been detrimental to the US Dollar and supportive of the Australian Dollar. Moreover, the release of monthly employment data from Australia provided a slight rebound for the AUD/USD pair after hitting a two-week low during the Asian session. The official data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed a rise in the Unemployment Rate to 4.1% in June, despite an unexpected increase in employed individuals from 39.7K in May to 50.2K in June.

From a technical standpoint, the AUD/USD pair bounced off support marked by an upward-sloping trend line, forming an ascending wedge pattern with a bearish tendency. Although oscillators on the daily chart indicate a potential recovery, any move upward may be met with selling pressure around the mid-0.6700s. Nonetheless, continued buying could drive prices towards the 0.6800 mark or a multi-month peak reached last week. Conversely, a breakthrough of support near the 0.6700 level might lead to a further decline towards the 100-day SMA support at 0.6600.

Various factors influence the value of the Australian Dollar, including interest rates set by the Reserve Bank of Australia, Australia’s trade balance, and the health of the Chinese economy. The RBA’s interest rate decisions affect the overall economy and inflation rate, with higher interest rates supporting the AUD. China, as Australia’s largest trading partner, plays a significant role in determining the demand for the Australian Dollar. The price of Iron Ore, a key Australian export, also impacts the AUD, with higher prices generally leading to an increase in the currency’s value.

Iron Ore is a significant export for Australia, with China being its primary destination. As such, changes in the price of Iron Ore can influence the Australian Dollar. Additionally, the Trade Balance, which reflects the difference between a country’s exports and imports, can impact the value of the Australian Dollar. A positive Trade Balance, resulting from strong export demand, strengthens the AUD, while a negative balance weakens it. Overall, a combination of domestic and global factors contributes to the fluctuations in the Australian Dollar’s value in the foreign exchange market.
