Aussie Employment Surprises with High Growth
The Australian economy released strongly bullish news yesterday morning with the publication of an employment indicator that showed the economy adding over 23,000 jobs over the past month. Despite a rate hike in China pulling strongly down on the value of the Aussie Wednesday and Thursday, this morning's movement appears to favor stronger risk seeking behavior among investors and yesterday's surprisingly high growth in Australian employment has many traders moving back towards the Australian dollar (AUD).
Weakening commodity prices may still pull on the nation's economic growth and the AUD's meteoric rise has gouged Australia's exports. While the downturn may look dismal from afar, runaway inflation caused by the Aussie's rise was expected to cut into the country's growth projection eventually. As traders adjust their portfolios and risk assessment for the Land Down Under, the possibility exists for a solid uptick later in the year. For now, heightened risk taking is pushing the value of the Aussie higher and today's US NFP data will either confirm or deny this new momentum.
