Sell AUDJPY – Forex Trading Tips

Posted On 02 Sep 2015

Our trade call today is to sell AUDJPY from 84.60 area or AUDUSD from 0.7060 area. Stops should be about 50-100 pips and the absolute maximum risked for any trade is 1%; this means 0.5% maximum on each position if you choose to sell AUD against two different counterparts. The conviction in this trade is reduced by the fact that Aussie is already at multi-year lows.

Current Market Sentiment:

In Asia, the Nikkei and Shanghai Composite both moved higher which saw a reduction in safe-haven FX and dollar-yen edge up 125 pips from yesterday’s NY session lows. In the current environment of uncertainty around the ramifications of lower Chinese growth, Asian equities provide a leading indicator for risk sentiment.

Australian GDP missed estimates showing growth of only 0.2% for the second quarter, versus the 0.4% expected. This marks the weakest quarterly growth since Q1 2011 and reinforces the RBA’s accommodative stance. The OIS prices a nearly 70% chance of a cut at the next meeting. The Aussie dipped about 40 pips making new multi-year lows, briefing breaking the 70 handle. The pair has since pared the losses but remains heavy.

Coming up we see Construction PMI from the United Kingdom. Take a look at my weekly Forex news event’s overview here in order to learn more about interpreting this particular release.
