- Sunday, September 2, 2012, 11:32 PM Australia's August PMI rises 5 points, but remains firmly in contraction territory at 45.3. Separately, retail sales for July fell 0.8% against expectations for a gain of 0.2%. It's the sharpest decline in nearly 2 years. The domestic news combines with weak Chinese data to put pressure on the aussie, -0.6% to $1.0262. Perhaps liking the weaker currency, the ASX 200 +0.3%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, August 30, 2012, 8:25 AM Particularly thumped overnight was Sydney, it's 1% fall led by the miners as the decline in iron ore prices turns into a plunge, adding to concerns the country's resources boom has come to a close. Fortescue's (typically promotional) CEO Nev Porter begs to differ: "We've been selling everything we can produce," he says. Yes, but at what price? EWA -1% premarket. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 7:24 AM Australia's property market grapples with gravity as new homes fell to the 2nd lowest amount on record in July. The HIA's (Oz's version of the NRA) top economist says low confidence, tight credit and high taxes are to blame for "recessionary conditions" in housing, but it's still a great time to buy! The aussie fell to a one-month low, but has since rebounded to unchanged. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 11:19 PM "The resources boom is over," says Australian Resources and Energy Minister Martin Ferguson. "We've done well ... the envy of the world. It has got tougher in the last 6-12 months." His comments come as BHP and other miners put the brakes on capital spending amidst high costs in Oz and slowing demand abroad (chiefly China). 13 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities]
- Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 10:44 PM Reaction to the weak PMI print out of China shows up quickly in the Australian dollar, which gives up sizable pre-report gains to move a few pips into the red, buying $1.0503. Up about 1% before the report, the Hang Seng now +0.8%. Comment! [Global & FX]

Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 8:39 AM
Australia faces a growing risk of recession in 2013, thanks to a scaling back of the mining boom, says Deutsche Bank, warning of "dangerously complacent" policymakers (indeed, see the RBA minutes from last night). Look for the terms of trade - the difference between what the country pays for imports vs. what it receives for exports - to collapse 15% this year. The aussie, meanwhile, continues along near a 30-year high.
2 Comments [Global & FX] - Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 7:09 AM Ideas the RBA might be cutting rates again anytime soon are squashed by policy meeting minutes showing confidence the Oz economy will cruise through the global headwinds. The bank also notes the effect of previous rate cuts has yet to fully hit the economy. The aussie +0.6% to $1.0507. The ASX 200 +0.4%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, August 20, 2012, 11:13 AM Complacency rises in the FX market, warns JPMorgan, as currency traders price in an environment leaving no margin for policy error. Dollar positioning has dropped from record long to flat, and volatility premiums have vanished. Either the global economy is better than thought and policymakers suddenly more competent, or risk is being mispriced. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, August 17, 2012, 7:51 AM The Australian Treasury rejects - for now - calls to step in to lower the value of the aussie. "Rather than helping the economy, the available options are likely to be either ineffective or result in greater macroeconomic instability." Did a government organ just say such heresy? The aussie, nevertheless, is tumbling on this otherwise quiet day, -0.7% to $1.0440. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, August 10, 2012, 7:50 AM The aussie (FXA) is off 0.7% as the RBA raises its view on the economy and the inflation rate, but says the strong currency could be doing more damage than its economic models predicted. The bank notes with puzzlement the aussie's recent rise despite the deteriorating global economic outlook and declines in key commodity prices. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, August 8, 2012, 9:47 PM Australia adds 14K jobs in July vs. consensus 10K. The unemployment rate drops to 5.2% vs. consensus 5.3%. The aussie quickly tacks on 25 pips, now at a 5-month high vs. the greenback and buying $1.0589. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, August 2, 2012, 7:28 AM BHP Billiton is set to postpone a $20B port expansion plan in Australia, according to a memo from the company's iron ore chief: The resources industry is "facing numerous challenges including substantial capital and operating cost escalation and decreasing commodity prices." Mining contractors in Perth have reportedly already started laying off workers. Comment! [Global & FX, Commodities]
- Thursday, July 12, 2012, 2:28 AM Australia's jobless rate rose for a second month, to 5.2% in June from 5.1% in May. The number of people employed fell by 27K, led by essentially erasing a revised 27,800 job gain in May. Aussie dollar -0.8% to $1.0168. ASX 200 index -0.7%. 2 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 11:48 AM Moving nicely higher on an otherwise quiet day in currencies is the aussie (FXA +0.7%) after a strong consumer confidence print trims expectations for another RBA rate cut in August. The RBA has moved aggressively, cutting 125 basis points since November, but paused in July. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, July 5, 2012, 7:12 AM Showing little reaction to the BoE's widely expected additional QE, stock futures move higher on the PBOC's somewhat unexpected rate cut. S&P 500 +0.3%. The aussie gets its tail in the air, +0.3% to $1.0302. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Monday, July 2, 2012, 3:35 PM Heading into this week's rate decisions, swaps are pricing a 36% chance of a rate cut from the ECB (Thursday), a 15% chance for the RBA (Tuesday), and a 8% chance for the BoE (Thursday), notes John Kicklighter. The ECB chance seems low given the rush last week of forecasters expecting a cut. The BoE may not move on rates, but additional QE is very much on the table. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
