A bearish cycle in Aussie 10yr futures remains in play and the latest extension reinforces current conditions. A continuation would signal scope for a move towards 95.235, a Fibonacci retracement point on the continuation chart. Key short-term resistance has been defined at 95.800, the Apr 19 high. A break would highlight a possible reversal and signal scope for a climb towards 96.110, the Dec 28 high.

US OUTLOOK/OPINION: GS Continue To Expect Two Fed Cuts This Year

May-03 20:02
  • Writing on today's payrolls report, Goldman Sachs note that “Job growth remained rapid in the healthcare industry but slowed sharply across leisure and government, raising the possibility that rehiring in those two sectors has mostly run its course.”
  • “The household survey was soft, with the unemployment rate increasing 0.1pp to 3.9%, driven by a 25k increase in household employment.”
  • “Our estimate of the underlying pace of job growth based on the payroll and household surveys now stands at 189k, though we estimate that counting immigration fully would boost this by 20k.”
  • “Our Q1 wage tracker stands at +4.5% on a quarterly annualized basis and +4.3% on a year-over-year basis.”
  • “We continue to expect two rate cuts this year, in July and November.”

Despite the latest pullback in USDCAD, a bullish trend condition remains intact for now and the move lower appears to be a correction. The pair has recently cleared 1.3614, the Mar 19, 22, 25 and 29 highs, strengthening a bullish theme. Note too, that moving average studies are in a bull-mode position. Key support to watch is 1.3622, 50-day EMA. This average has today been pierced, but remains intact as a support.
