There are no major domestic reports out of Australia and New Zealand this week so the direction of the Aussie and Kiwi is likely to be driven by the movement in China’s stock market. Both currencies could continue their short-covering rallies if the major Chinese indices continue to strengthen. Another steep sell-off in the Chinese stock markets should lead to further weakness in the Aussie and Kiwi.

USD/JPY Rises on Hawkish Fed, Easing of Safe Haven Buying, Dovish Koroda
As easing of tensions in the U.S. stock market and higher U.S. Treasury yields helped the Dollar/Yen close higher last week. The previous week’s stock market volatility led to the dumping of risky assets and the buying of the safe haven Japanese Yen. This week, stock market volatility eased somewhat, allowing Treasury yields to challenge multi-year highs once again. This encouraged investors to take profits in Japanese Yen positions they had bought the previous week.

GBP/USD Weekly Price Forecast – British pound continues to be very messy
The British pound continues to be very messy overall, forming a bit of a shooting star during the week, but quite frankly we are just simply bouncing around between the 1.30 level and the bottom, and the 1.3250 level in the top.
