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.
Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to forestcovegalleria I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.
Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at opalstonegalleria extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.
Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at cottongroveemporium continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.
Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at jewelbrookvault kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
