Forex – AUD/USD holds steady, kiwi slips lower in late trade
The Australian dollar was little changed against its U.S. counterpart on Monday, while the New Zealand dollar slipped lower as expectations for U.S. rate hike in December continued
to support the greenback, although fresh geopolitical tensions weighed. Trading volumes were expected to remain thin with U.S. markets closed for Columbus Day. AUD/USD held
steady at 0.7763, not far from Friday’s three-month lows of 0.7732. The dollar retreated following reports on Friday that North Korea is preparing to test a long-range missile, adding
to fears over a potential conflict in the region. But the greenback remained broadly
supported as the wage data from Friday’s U.S. jobs report was seen as potentially boosting inflation. The U.S. economy lost 33,000 jobs in September, the Labor Department reported,
ending seven straight years of job growth. But the decline was driven by slower hiring due to the effects of Hurricanes Irma and Harvey. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2%, the lowest since 2001 and average hourly earnings rose 2.9% from a year earlier. The uptick in wage inflation bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates in December.
Expectations that U.S. rates will rise help support the dollar by making U.S. assets more attractive to yield-seeking investors. NZD/USD slipped 0.21% to trade at 0.7074, just off Friday’s four-month trough of 0.7059. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, was steady at 93.63 by 02:15 a.m. ET (06:15 GMT), still close to Friday’s 10-week highs of 94.10.
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at rosebazaar continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at briskparcel added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.

Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at walnutware earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
