US Retail Sales shine and beat estimates in November.



The Aussie Dollar sank again the moment the latest US Retail Sales data was released that showed Americans spent more in the month of November than in the 5 preceding months. Two days in a row the Dow Jones has closed down over 100 points and this is a genuine sign traders on Wall Street are starting to sell stocks to lock in profits they have made in 2013 ahead of the higher likelihood of the US Fed tapering its stimulus program which is likely to drive stocks initially lower.

The Retail Sales data was up 0.7% on the same time a year ago and as I have continued to advise you in this report any positive high impacting news for the USA prior to the Fed tapering is likely to push the Aussie Dollar to new lows against any currency with the potential of a rising interest rate. The Aussie Dollar accelerated overnight to new lows against the US Dollar, Kiwi Dollar and British Pound which are all countries with the potential for higher interest rates in 2014.
