Equities & AUD Rally:
The Aussie Dollar has rallied with equities overnight following a sell off which lasted most of last week and saw the AUD/USD wholesale exchange drop from 0.6850 down to a low of 0.6677. Today we’re in better shape around the 0.6700 figure and if coronavirus fears ease then we may see a sustained rally through the week. Equities across Europe and the U.S performed particularly well bouncing back around 1.5-2% with stock futures trading suggesting perhaps another good night ahead. Our local market is tipped to open nearly 1% higher.
Other than that there is not a great deal further to add. So just a short one from me today. Expect more consistent morning market updates from me as I’m back from a longish hiatus overseas.
