Key Quotes
“AUD is weak and underperforming, its decline driven by the release of disappointing trade and retail sales. The data have forced a full retracement of Wednesday’s GDP-driven gains, with focus shifting back to the deteriorating domestic picture and its implications for the RBA, with OIS pricing in a 40% chance of a 25bpt rate cut over the next 12 months.”
“AUD is vulnerable and we see limited support ahead of Tuesday’s open near 0.7600.”
