On May 17th, according to the Financial Times, two Federal Reserve officials nominated by US President Trump opposed allowing Jerome Powell to serve as interim chairman of the Fed "without time limit." This highlights the escalating political divisions within the central bank amid continued attacks from the White House. Powells second term as Fed chairman ended on Friday. He was appointed interim chairman to assume the duties until his official successor, Warsh, takes office. Milan and Bowman, nominated by Trump to the Feds board of governors, stated in a joint statement that they supported Powells temporary appointment as interim chairman, but "could not support this action" because the arrangement was "without time limit." Milan voted against it, while Bowman abstained. Milan and Bowman stated that Powells interim chairmanship "should be limited to a clearly defined and finite timeframe, at least one week," but they "can support a maximum period of one month."On May 17, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) convened an emergency regional coordination meeting on May 16, local time, to discuss and deploy a new round of Ebola prevention and control efforts with relevant personnel from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, South Sudan, the World Health Organization, and the African Medical Association.

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.
