Analysis and Recommendation:
The AUD/USD is trading at 0.9795. Australias recent eco data has been overall negative, adding today with a disappointing retail sales number, economists had forecast an increase of 0.2% and the actual was the reverse at -.02%. The Aussie continues to suffer, due to the slowdown in China and Japan. It is difficult for the local economy to survive and grow when its major trading partners are not.
Compound this with the risk aversion, safe haven theme of the markets pushing the yen and the greenback to elevated highs. The commodity currency has no way to mount a defense.
Yesterday, as investors turned their focus to Spain after a fairly optimistic day, the USD soared, the euro plummeted to below 1.25 and gold dropped. All of the USD crosses suffered.
