In the Jun’17 report (AUDUSD was 0.7523) we had kept our bullish stance for Aussie intact while waiting for confirmation on a break above 0.7750-0.7850.
We remain bullish on Aussie but expect a dip in July, to be followed by resumption in the uptrend thereafter towards 0.80. A break above 0.7750-0.7850 has not materialized yet and remains an important level to be kept an eye on. An actual breakout may occur in August or September as mentioned in our June report also.
Aussie indeed rose in June in line with our expectations and has come up to test the near term resistance zone of 0.7750-0.7850. Clear contraction in price movement is visible from the chart above since Dec’15 and is probably nearing exhaustion within July or August. We expect a short-lived dip to 0.75 or slightly lower in July, to be followed by a sharp break above 0.78 over August and September, along the path shown by blue line on the chart above, heading towards 0.80.
CAD/USD strengthened in June (from 1.2947 to 1.3547), contrary to our expectation of a further fall and could continue to rise over July and August. In the chart above, we have broken up the fall from 1.029 in Sep’12 to 0.688 in Jan’16 into 5-waves (as per the Elliot wave principle), which is being followed by an “A-B-C” correction that may possibly end near 0.84. Wave “C” is assumed to be playing out currently which could extend to 0.84 on the upside over the next few weeks indicating bullishness for the near term. This could indicate strength in Aussie too towards 0.80.
We have been following Copper for the last few months and it has been beautifully holding above 2.5 since Dec’16. We may now expect a rise towards 2.80-3.00 in the coming months.
It has moved up well in June from 2.5155 to 2.71 in line with our expectation and could be headed towards 2.80-3.00 over July and August. This could also boost the rise in CAD and Aussie, both being commodity currencies.
Close directional correlation between CAD, Copper and Aussie, continues to exist. A rise in Copper and CAD is supportive of a possible rise in Aussie mentioned in the previous page. Mild correction to 0.75 in July followed by a rise in August towards 0.78 is the preferred path for Aussie.

In our Nov-24 report (31-Oct-24, US10Yr @ 4.26%), we had said that it was possible that the FED may cut rates by at least another 50bp in 2024; that the fall in the US10Yr from 5.02% is over and an immediate dip from 4.4% to 4.0-3.8% could give way to an eventual rise past 4.8% towards 5.0%. In line with that, the FED did cut rates by 25bp in November. Although the US 10Yr rose to …. Read More
With recent US economic data coming out strong, there has been reduced chances for an immediate economic slowdown in the US. Will this reduce chances of a decline in the crude prices and continue to keep it ranged? Or can there still be a significant movement in crude in the coming months?. … Read More
In line with our alternate view in our Nov-24 edition (13-Nov-24, EURUSD @ 1.0615), Euro did break below 1.06 and fell to a low of 1.0333 in Nov-24. However, it could not sustain at the lows and have bounced back well to ……. Read More
