AUD/USD Fundamental Analysis December 25, 2012, Forecast

Analysis and Recommendation:

The AUD/USD declined this morning by just 2pips to fall below the 1.04 range trading at 1.0399. Global worries over the US financial disaster continues to shake markets as traders begin to return to safe havens as there seems to be no new negotiations taking place with Congress recessed for the holiday week, leaving very few days for US lawmakers to head off the Jan 1, 2013 budget cuts and tax changes. President Obama has called for a limited package that might push the deadline and stop these automatic budget cuts and tax changes, but Republicans are on recess and with the recent rebellion in the Congress when Mr. Boehner was forced to withdraw his “Plan B” when he learned that he did not have party support leaves the leadership under pressure as Mr. Boehner may not be able to continue to speak for all the Republicans.

Talks are continuing to come up with measures to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff – a series of tax hikes and spending cuts which will begin from January 1.
