AUD/USD Sentiment The US released two worse than expected economic reports Thursday, with data showing US initial jobless claims rose more than expected last week and a larger than expected US January trade deficit. These reports underscore investor fears of the impact of oil prices and Middle East on global economic growth. Newly released data showed that Australian jobless claims grew in February for the first time in 18 months. The Central Bank of New Zealand cut interest rates today to offset the economic impact of the devastating earthquake that hit Christchurch last month.
