EURAUD Breakout in Play

The breakout in EURAUD as per a recent Market Spotlight, is underway. Price has broken above the 1.5671 level and while above here, is on course to test the 1.5931 bull objective. Despite better risk appetite, EUR continues to outperform against AUD with the latter being capped by the ongoing trade stand-off with China. In the near term, continues weakness in USD favours further upside in EUR which should help keep EURAUD trading towards target. The bullish view will be negated on a dip back below the 1.2176.

Key Data to Watch

With little in the way of either EUR or AUD data, the focus will be on USD data over the rest of the week. Tomorrow’s GDP print will be the key reading to watch. If USD is seen lower in the wake of the release this should see EURAUD firmly higher. Even if there is some recovery in USD in response to the release, AIUD is likely to fall faster than EUR which should still keep the pair supported.
