There
is likely only one piece of news the market will want to wait for this week and
that is the US jobs report on Friday. Yes there are other news items marked
"High" but nothing is higher than the US Non Farm Payrolls number.
Interest rate movements are critically important to the direction of any
currency and the world is watching to see if US interest rates continue to
steadily move higher. I personally am tipping another interest rate cut for
Australia in February or March unless the Aussie Dollar is 0.85c to the US. The
weaker Aussie currency will more than likely ensure interest rates are kept on
hold when the RBA meets for the last time on Tuesday however the economic data
supports another rate cut in my view early in the New Year.
But Friday's jobs
number in the US is the one to watch and if 200,000 jobs or more were created
last month then the Aussie Dollar will more than likely finish the week back at
the lows of 2013.
