Analysis and Recommendation:

The AUD/USD is trading this morning at 1.0457 as the US dollar weakened on negative housing and durable goods reports yesterday. As the Chinese markets close for a weeklong holiday, traders are expecting the government to introduce a new round of stimulus which would be very positive for the Aussie.

A news report from the Shanghai Securities News fuelled speculation the Chinese government would announce measures to support equities.

The Australian dollar received further support as markets reacted positively to Spain’s 2013 budget, released overnight, which promised to meet the country’s deficit reduction through further spending cuts. The budget is expected to ease the path for a possible bailout from the European Central Bank to lower the country’s high borrowing costs.
