Growth momentum improved in both manufacturing and services, with manufacturing performing particularly well, showing significant growth in both output and new orders. Furthermore, new export orders in the manufacturing sector recorded their fastest growth in eight and a half years, and the semiconductor and AI-related industries had a substantial backlog of new business. Easing cost pressures in August are a positive sign for Japanese companies. Although input costs still rose sharply due to the impact of the Middle East war on supply chains and energy prices, as well as the weak yen, the overall cost inflation rate has fallen to its lowest level in five months. However, with output price increases still near historical highs, companies may need to see a sustained slowdown in inflation before further reducing product prices. With improved business confidence compared to the previous month, strong sales growth, and continued employment increases, Japans private sector is expected to continue its strong performance, provided that it is not subjected to further shocks in terms of prices or demand.According to Futures News on August 21, as of 8:30 AM Beijing time, spot platinum fell 0.16% and spot palladium fell 0.03%.Musk: Reports that SpaceX is seeking to acquire Spectrum at a $6 billion valuation are untrue.

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.
