Market Movers Episode #24: Diving into Australia, US jobs

The Aussie is a very popular currency and for good technical and fundamental reasons. After diving down under, we go back to the USA and examine all jobs numbers leading to the FOMC minutes. The British pound has been punished, but is it justified? And finally, we don’t miss the falling Japanese yen ahead of perhaps even bigger moves.

  2. US jobs: Was the NFP that bad? If not, why did the dollar sell off? After explaining the past we look forward to the pain point: more jobs but no raises. Looking at other figures, we find some reasons to be encouraged.
  3. Punished pound: Carney carnage hit the pound. We explain the prospects for a rate hike and also look at what events are likely to move the pound in the near future.
  4. Small in Japan: The ramifications of the one-two blitz continues sending the yen lower. How low can it go? We talk tax, elections and the all important Japanese GDP.
