Market Movers Episode #24: Diving into Australia, US jobs

The Aussie is a very popular currency and for good technical and fundamental reasons. After diving down under, we go back to the USA and examine all jobs numbers leading to the FOMC minutes. The British pound has been punished, but is it justified? And finally, we don’t miss the falling Japanese yen ahead of perhaps even bigger moves.

The topics:

  1. Aussie drill dwon: One of the most predictable currencies enjoys a high yield, high credit rating, a highly regarded central bank and  did not experience a recession. But with China slowing, what’s next for the land down under? We dive into the aspects moving A$.
  2. US jobs: Was the NFP that bad? If not, why did the dollar sell off? After  explaining the past we look forward  to the pain  point:  more jobs but no raises. Looking at other figures,  we find some reasons to be  encouraged.
  3. Punished pound:  Carney carnage hit the pound. We explain the prospects for a rate hike and also look at what events are likely to move the pound in the near future.
  4. Small in Japan: The ramifications of  the one-two blitz continues sending the yen lower. How low can it go? We talk tax, elections and the all important Japanese GDP.

After taking a short course about forex. Like many forex traders, I've earned a significant share of my knowledge the hard way. Macroeconomics, the impact of news on the ever-moving currency markets and trading psychology have always fascinated me. Before founding Forex Crunch, I've worked as a programmer in various hi-tech companies. I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Ben Gurion University. Given this background, forex software has a relatively bigger share in the posts.
