The AUD is moving around, more in response to developments offshore (in the US).
It started to fall On Friday ahead of the NFP (a subdued risk off move) and also on the issuance of two bearish notes for the currency from Australian banks:
- ANZ on the AUD ... set to turn lower once again - trade recommendation
- Westpac says AUD/USD likely to depreciate from the current level to USD0.72
The fall extended after the strong NFP.
And, on Monday, lower equity markets have fed into FX, another 'rsik off' move, and again, a small one.
