Once again we are seeing the market defend the 38.2% retracement of the October to January sell-off at 0.9079. If you look at yesterdays candle on the daily chart it printed a doji pattern, highlighting the indecision in the market. A neutral stance on the pair is warranted, and I am waiting for the market to dictate play. At 11:30 we get Australian Q4 wage costs and the market expects a slight slowdown to 2.5% yoy (from 2.7%). Naturally this is a key input into inflation expectations, so a number below this figure could feed into the idea that inflation in Australia could fall in the coming quarters.
