Daily Outlook

May 23, 2016

The Australian Dollar is consolidating between 0.7200-0.7250 with the market weighing the divergence between the RBA and US Fed’s next move in monetary policy. The market is pricing in 13% chance of RBA’s cut on 7th June and 33% chance of rate hike by US Fed on 15th June. Fed members have been vocal last week after the release of hawkish FOMC minutes suggesting that the market is discounting the willingness of US Fed to hike if data permits. The market remains unconvinced with Brexit referendum looming and still struggling global economy. With lack of economic data today and no surprises from G7 meeting, the Australian Dollar is likely to consolidation further.

 

Soybean meal futures continued its uptrend breaking 18-month highs, with 3.7% increase on Friday and 8% last week. Concern about tightening exports from Argentina, world’s largest exporter of soybean meal, drove the market higher. Excess rain is expected to hurt Argentina’s soybean crop. As uncertainty builds around the global supply of soybeans, China’s demand continues to strengthen. With China consumption of total world soybean supply projected at 63.9% and growing, overall soybean demand for U.S supplies is expected to remain strong. With falling supply and growing demand, recent events are providing strong fundamentals for a bull market.

Our pivot point is at 352.8.
