AUD/USD: Profit Locked In At 0.7120 After Strong Jobs Report
(long for 0.7190)

  • Australian employment surged 58.6k in October, much above the market forecast of 15k. This increase was made up of a rise of 40k in full-time employment,while part-time employment rose 18.6k. Unemployment rate dropped to 5.9% from 6.2% in September. The market expected a reading of 6.2%.
  • Interbank futures slid after strong jobs report as the market greatly lengthened the odds on another cut in interest rates. However, investors still expect a cut next year. In our opinion the monetary easing cycle has ended and the next rate change will be a hike.
  • The AUD/USD jumped to 0.7153 after the employment data. We stay long for 0.7190, but have locked in our profit at 0.7120.
