The Australian Dollar is still being sold. Overview for 07.12.2016

Another weak statistics knocked down the Australian Dollar; sales aren’t increasing, but still continue.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Australian Dollar is trading downwards against the USD. The current quote for the instrument is 0.7454.
Investors were disappointed by the statistics published today. In the third quarter of 2016, the Australian GDP lost 0.5% q/q instead of adding 0.3% q/q, just as expected. Moreover, the reading for the second quarter was revised from 0.6% q/q to 0.5% q/q. On YoY, the indicator increased only by 1.8% against expectations of 2.5%.
Decline of the Aussie turned out to be not so significant as today’s GDP readings. Earlier, large banks published the research results, which mentioned possible risks of too slow growth of the country’s DP in the future. That was also when several economists said that there might be negative numbers even in the third quarter. This came true too fast: market players don’t seem to realize this yet.
On top of that, the expectations of rather slow rate of the GDP growth in 2017 are increasing, even considering selling coal and iron ore. Commodity assets rally isn’t expected to continue for a long time and can’t be a proper long-term catalyst.

The Australian Dollar is retreating. Overview for 06.12.2016

The Australian Dollar is being sold against the USD on Tuesday afternoon. The current quote for the instrument is 0.7444.
So, the December meeting of the RBA finished this morning. Just as expected, the rate remained unchanged at 1.5%. Right now, it’s too early to revise the indicator because the previous decrease hasn’t produced any observable effects so far. In its comments, the Australian regulator mentioned that it didn’t exclude a possibility of a particular slowdown in economic growth at the end of the year – but it’s just a pause before a new shoot forward. The real estate sector stabilized, or even improved in some aspects; in some cases, there might be seen a rise in housing prices, which is also positive. The labor market is still providing some mixed signals, but in the short-term, the employment is improving and this tendency may transform into a long-term one later.
When it comes to the inflation in Australia, the RBA estimates it as very low at the moment and doesn’t expect it to increase. The current high exchange rate of the Aussie can make the transition period in the country’s economy more difficult.
Now, after the regulator’s new management mentioned the AUD and its influence on the country’s economy in its comments, we can say that the rhetoric of Mr. Stevens, ex-Governor of the RBA, is back. It appears that Mr. Lowe, the current Governor of the Australian Central Bank, reached the same point of the monetary policy stability as Stevens did in his time.
The neutral tone of the RBA’s comments put some more pressure on the Aussie. In the morning, large banks published their prediction relating to the country’s GDP, which indicated their expectations of a slowdown in economic growth.
