Risk Aversion has the Aussie Dollar Mixed

Tuesday, 2 Aug 2011

The Australian dollar (AUD) was trading mostly weaker versus its currency counterparts yesterday after data releases have begun to shift traders back into safety. The Aussie has been losing momentum these past few weeks as risk aversion becomes predominant in the global market. Fears emanating from the current deal struck in Washington, DC regarding its debt ceiling has made the forex market jittery so far this week, leading many to seek safety.

This movement has gouged the AUD against all of its currency rivals, especially against safe-havens like the Swiss franc (CHF) and Japanese yen (JPY). With significant reports released this morning, forex traders are highly likely to see heavy movement by the Aussie in today's trading hours. News out of China yesterday is also expected to hike volatility throughout the Pacific countries of Japan, New Zealand and Australia. Pacific traders should be cautious in today's trading.
