The BOJs current account forecast released on Thursday differed too little from currency broker estimates to suggest that Japan had intervened with yen buying on the scale of a month ago. The BOJ projected a 410 billion yen decrease in its current account due to fiscal factors, compared to an average estimate of approximately 700 billion yen from the Central Accounting Research Institute, Ueda-Yagi Accounting Research Institute, and Tokyo Accounting Research Institute. This difference is far less than 729 billion yen, representing Japans smallest intervention since 2022. The exchange rate volatility partly stemmed from traders adjusting their positions based on expectations of the BOJs interest rate hike direction. A series of comments from Japanese and US policymakers fueled speculation about a potential acceleration in tightening or even a significant rate hike, but sources familiar with the matter indicated the BOJ favors a 0.25 percentage point rate hike at its September meeting, dampening previous expectations of a larger increase.The Kremlin responded to the US Treasury Secretarys remarks by saying, "We will continue to support Iran."

AUD/NZD Price Analysis: Bulls Surpass 1.0790 Resistance Confluence Due To Positive Australian Employment Report

AUD/NZD supporters are approaching their highest levels since early March as a result of a four-day uptrend following Thursday morning's release of robust Australian employment data. At the time of publication, the currency pair is accepting bids to reestablish the multi-day high near 1.0810.

 

The Australia Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reported for the month of March that Employment Change increased by 53K compared to 20K expected and 64.6K previously, while the Unemployment Rate remained unchanged at 3.6% compared to expectations of 3.6%. In addition, the Participation Rate rose to 66.7%, exceeding the 66.7% predicted by the market.

 

The AUD/NZD pair surpassed the previous critical resistance confluence surrounding 1.0790, which was comprised of the 100-day moving average (DMA) and a one-month-old downward trend line.

 

The bullish MACD signals and stronger, non-overbought RSI (14) line contribute to the strength of the upside bias.

 

The AUD/NZD bulls are currently positioned to test the 50-day moving average of 1.0824. However, the preceding monthly apex of about 1.0895 and the round number 1.0900 may limit future gains.

 

Alternately, retracement remains elusive until the AUD/NZD pair remains above the support-turned-resistance level of 1.0790.

 

Then, a breach of the upward-sloping trend line from March 5 and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair's run-up from December 2022 to February 2023, located near 1.0705, could give the bears room to maneuver in their subsequent analysis.
