AUD/USD Fundamental Analysis August 30, 2012 Forecast

Analysis and Recommendation:

The AUD/USD declined again today, trading at 1.0364. The Aussie has been facing a run of lackluster eco reports weighing on the currency. This morning Construction Work data showed a decline below forecast of completed work. It is a tier 3 data report but compounds the negative eco data on previous reports.

The market focus though has turned to the Jackson Hole event, which is coloring the entire marketplace.

Trader will experience a very light day, waiting for Friday’s marquee happening.

Yesterday, ECB President Draghi withdrew from the symposium due to a heavy work load in Europe, preparing for the ECB September 6 meet.
