According to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), an Iranian naval commander stated that enemies will not be allowed to approach Iranian territory.India has announced a 625 billion rupee mobile phone incentive program.On August 21st, Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Insights, stated that U.S. businesses are thriving, with companies reporting that output growth reached its fastest pace in over four years as the third-quarter economic expansion strengthened further in August. Third-quarter survey data currently shows an annualized growth rate close to 3.0%, a significant increase from the 1.5% growth rate in the second quarter. Job growth in August also showed a welcome recovery, with employer confidence strengthening as concerns about the negative impacts of tariffs and the Middle East conflict gradually subsided. However, the latter remains a key area of focus for businesses, particularly its impact on supply chains and energy prices. Supply chain delays were reported again in August, at their most severe in the past four years, significantly constraining output for many companies. While price pressures have eased somewhat, they remain high and could easily face renewed upward pressure if energy prices rise again. Meanwhile, the growth momentum between the second and third quarters has shifted from manufacturing to services. With depleted safety stocks and supply chain delays dampening factory production growth, the service sector is now playing a key role in driving the continued expansion of the U.S. economy.S&P Global: U.S. business growth hit a 52-month high in August, driven by a surge in service sector activity and rising optimism. Price pressures eased somewhat.S&P Global: The U.S. Manufacturing PMI preliminary reading for August was 53.2, a five-month low; the Composite PMI preliminary reading for output was 56.0, a 52-month high; the Services PMI preliminary reading for business activity was 56.8, a 20-month high; and the Manufacturing PMI preliminary reading for output was 51.9, a 13-month low.

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.
