Following declines of 81,000 in March and 83,000 in February, the latest decrease was led by declines in construction, manufacturing, and retail trade.

It’s just a few hours away before the announcement of key interest rates from Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) for AUD. All technicals seem to be pointing a bear for the AUD.

GBP/USD

Cable has been consolidating for 4 days now. I think it’s time for a move outside this triangle like range.

Watch out for a close outside the triangle I’ve drawn for you. Hopefully it won’t be a fake breakout and we will see cable shooting at least 80 - 100 pips in that direction.
