NZ 10 Year Yields edge past AU - AUDNZD may fallWhile CA, US, JP and AU yields have dropped in the general risk off mood across markets, NZ Yields have gone against the grain and in the "yield- off" between the AU and NZ 10 Year Yields, NZ has just edged past their pacific neighbour, with the 1% target in mind. The AUDUSD is still trading at around $1.07, however indications are that this may dive lower, as the currency trade typically lags the yield rate differential by 1-3 days.
AU10Y trade ideas
NZ 10 Year yields soar past AU 10 year yields. Weighed down by $100billion worth of QE, yields on the Aussie 10 Year Government Bonds have risen, but not as fast as their kiwi counterparts. NZ 10 Year yields have today risen past AU 10 year yields for the first time since July, sending the NZDUSD to within a hair's breadth of 0.70c (0.6994). With the NZD outlook brighter, and a less dovish RBNZ, No doubt the kiwi will continue to climb in coming days on the back of rising 10 year yields.
The AUDUSD pair tracks lower as NZ 10 Year Yields Climb While RBNZ had negative rates on it radar for 2021, NZ10 Year Yields were around 0.555-0.6. With the RBNZ saying the economy is doing better than expected, holding rates and generally being more hawkish, yields have climbed to their highest since July hitting 0.909%. Meanwhile the RBA has cut rates, although this initially dampened AU 10 Year yields, they are back over 0.95 as of today. The upshot being that the marginal difference between the two neighbours has substantially decreased with the AUD/NZD pair tracking lower than it has for the last few months.
AU10Y Yields take a hit following RBA AnnouncementAU10YR dropped rapidly to 0.770 following the RBA's announcement but has not dropped to earlier lows in the month. The effect on the AUDUSD was a little softness, but as the market was fully expecting the move, there was nothing too drastic. Now that's out of the way, the next hurdle is the US election which influence which way the AUD heads over the next few weeks.
ridethepig | Australian YieldsThe gridlock continues with CB's keeping Yields interlocked for as long as possible. An attack on the highs is inevitable if you ask me, sellers base is just not strong enough.
📌 Recession Strategy
US will lead for the purpose of these flows, buyers may still make concessions and allow a retest of 0.82% lows but anything else looks very difficult. The counter-play here to the topside will cause severe damage to the economy as inflation enters back into the game.
I will be doing a detailed post on inflation as there have been a number of questions coming in around how it will develop. We need to keep tracking the supply side to really get into the heart of the matter. The post is going to cover much more about the reversal of globalisation , government intervention, more protectionism, productivity taking another hammer via covid, less tech and etc and how to work with these moves.
ridethepig | Australian Yields breaking out? Smells like it...I would have preferred it if Aussie Yields could have sought the break for the close last week, the decision to hold up here, rather than forcing the pass is notable that Yield curve control is really coming through. Which is an appendage to the following position in AUD:
Those aiming for this macro swing position are effectively trading the artificial Fed control over USD supply side . As long as the printers are on full blast, the move from Fed towards a more lenient Yield curve control playbook will be done in broad daylight, as I have been saying for some time, they were faced with a decision as to whether they wanted a stronger currency or stronger equity market. After witnessing the Whitehouse policies being funded by Keynsian economics it is a disaster for confidence in the LONG RUN for the US. Capital is beginning to slowly migrate towards Europe and Asia. Get used to China and Russia having a larger seat at the table; hence we need to keep a close eye on Australia - China relations as the elephant in the room.
What is important in the positional play is not the attack, but rather how price responds at support levels. We are wanting to only add exposure in periods of consolidation, calm waters. Do not let the loud noise and sharp spikes affect your decisiveness.
AU10Y - Austrlian Bond Yields - lows aheadAustralian 10-Year yields seems to be tracing down intermediate wave 3. If this scenario holds yields could reach lower levels than 0.28. The critical levels are at the low of minor wave B when yields crosses down the odds are to this main scenario. If yields cross up 1.4, the alternative scenario where primary wave 5 has finished should hold. FOLLOW SKYLINEPRO TO GET UPDATES.
ridethepig | Aus 10yr Holding SupportA noteworthy breakout in Aus 10yr with the technical damage already done as bulls remain supportive at the lows. The 38.2% from the impulsive leg, although still yet to be tested will cap any further downside in the coming weeks.
Here we are dealing with the capture of the pinned retrace. We have heaped up the size of our attack, but have to face up to the disappointment that said 38.2% cheerfully remains open and unlocked for a further test. The rascal was not locked yet, at the most only 'partially' ...however the issue of how to execute the impulsive nature in the attack is easily solved with the technical break.
The risk to reasoning here comes from the final diagram:
AUD is becoming supported by the improvements in capex intentions which is picking up faster than expected. Government infrastructure is too important and remains high before expiry in 2021. As long as the consumer re-leverages and we activity in the corp sector improves AUD will present the correct procedure for bulls and with the intention of avoiding a loss in momentum, we must track the breakout in this case the AU 10yr.
We can update the thread over the coming Weeks, Months and Quarters so feel free to jump in with your idea generation and we can further the discussion for all.
Thanks for keeping the support coming with likes, comments and etc!
Australian yields breaking higher=> Here we are seeing global yields breaking higher as widely expected for those following our tradingview ideas and telegram channel
=> Australia's trade surplus helps as a buffer against the yield disadvantage but it is only moderating the AUDUSD decline... the disadvantage is not changing any time soon and we are set for yields to continue breaking higher.
=> Next areas of interest here are at 2.85, 2.94 and finally the 2.98
=> GL all those tracking this one
AUD/USD: Correlation w/AU Yield Curve Re-emerges, RBA Rate Cut?It's worth noting that the last 3 episodes of a flatter yield curve in Australia have led to a depreciation of the Australian Dollar. There are a few conclusions one can draw from this observation:
1. It suggests AUD traders have been, as of late, factoring more aggressively into the price domestic factors such as a more dovish RBA outlook.
2. The market is anticipating sub-par growth in the Australian economy mid to long-term.
3. A flattener structure during times of neutral policy increases the risk of a rate cut by the RBA as poor data, fundamentals (household debt, consumers more cautious) weigh.
4. The slide in the AUD in tandem with the bull flattener structure communicates a slowdown in AUD capital inflows.
5. What #4 implies is that the flattening of the curve can serve as a more accurate predictor of AUD valuations.
