EUR: EURAUD Threatening Close Below 50-Day EMA, Eyes Trendline Support
Jun-04 11:00
EURAUD has been broadly respecting a 1.75-77 range over the past two weeks, and despite multiple tests below the 50-day EMA, has failed to close below this mark. A move back below the average, intersecting around 1.75, would also threaten a support trendline drawn from the February lows at 1.7475. Should AUDUSD make a meaningful attempt above 0.6500, this could signal scope for EURAUD to move back to the May lows at 1.7248 (shown below).
We noted that while Australian Q1 GDP was weaker-than-expected and slower than Q4, it was impacted by extreme weather events in the quarter which impacted exports and domestic demand. Thus, there is likely to be some positive payback in Q2 and so a reaction by the RBA to the weakness at its July 8 decision is not assured.
In similar vein, and ahead of the Bank of Canada, EURCAD appears vulnerable to a close below the 50-day EMA at 1.5591. Trendline support also intersects at 1.5555.
