REFERRALS: Client referrals are a very important part of our business. If you know of any contacts that could benefit from our comprehensive range of international currency transfer services, please do let me know.
AUDEUR: The AUD has had 7 consecutive weekly gains against the EUR, up 6.75% in that time to finish at a 2.5 month high. There is solid resistance at this level as the last 3 times it was here we saw significant corrections. EUR is down against the majority of the majors over the last couple of weeks given the Brexit and rumours of other countries looking at the possibility of following Britain’s lead.
AUDGBP: The AUD closed at a fresh 32 month high against the GBP. AUD started its rally pre Brexit and in the last 6 weeks has rallied 16.5%. Adding to the downward pressure on the currency is the departure of Boris Johnson and the architect of the leave campaign Nigel Farage, who apparently resigned after receiving death threats. This continues to put the GBP under pressure even though they will be free to pursue trade deals with other countries.
AUDNZD: In my last report 4 weeks ago I said “Kiwi as strong as the All Blacks and the best performing currency of the week”. It has maintained the trend against the majors with the exception of the JPY. AUD hit a fresh 15 month low against the NZD on Friday which is great for those receiving NZD.
AUDJPY: The AUD finished the week up against the JPY which has been the strongest performing currency. There is short term resistance at this level. Given the fact that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has disappointed the markets and refrained from further expected stimulus over the last couple of months, which has seen the JPY outperform all major currencies, we think it is only a matter of time before he does. JPY strength is certainly affecting exports and his attempts to stimulate the economy and the move into negative rates has so far failed to produce the desired outcome.
AUDCHF: AUD posted its 3rd weekly high against the CHF, breaking through daily resistance to a much bigger line in the sand of weekly resistance that has held for the majority of the last 16 months.
