The Australian currency edged higher against other major opponents during Thursday’s European session. The aussie thus rose to more than a 2-month high against the dollar and a 2-day high against the Canadian dollar.
Against the euro, the aussie is now trading at a high of 1.4485, compared to Asian session’s low of 1.4618. The aussie closed yesterday’s trading at 1.4527 against the euro. The aussie may target around the 1.447 level in near term, if it gains further.
Industrial orders in the eurozone rose briskly in May, official figures have shown, suggesting the manufacturing sector could be set for strong growth.
New orders rose by 3.8% compared with the previous month, considerably faster than the 0.6% growth in April. Economists had forecast a 0.1% decrease.
Beside the Eurozone industrial new orders data, U.K retail sales for June, French consumer confidence for July and the PMI reports from major eurozone economies likely influenced the 16-nation currency.
The aussie hit a 2-day high of 0.9253 against the Canadian dollar, an appreciation of 0.38%, from yesterday’s close of 0.9217. As of now, the aussie is worth 0.9244 against the loonie with 0.926 seen as the next upside target level.
The aussie advanced against its Japanese rival in European session on Thursday. The aussie-yen pair, which closed yesterday’s trading at 76.47, is now worth 77.06. On the upside, the euro may target around the 77.50 level.
The aussie-greenback pair rose to more than a 2-month high of 0.8901 at 6:45 am ET and this may be compared to 0.8785 hit at yesterday’s close. The aussie may target around the 0.941 level, if it jumps further.
The Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said yesterday that the economic expansion that began in the middle of last year is proceeding at a moderate pace.
However, Bernanke noted the outlook remains “unusually uncertain,” and that the central bank is prepared to take additional steps to support the economy if it takes a turn for the worse.
In the upcoming hours, the U.S. weekly jobless claims for the weekended July 17, leading indicators and existing home sales-both for June are expected to garner market attention along with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s second day testimony before the Senate will take center stage among investors.
At 8:30 am ET, Statistics Canada’s retail sales report for May is due.
I was just searching for this info for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Normally the top websites are full of garbage.
Hiya, I’m really glad I have found this information. Today bloggers publish just about gossips and internet and this is actually annoying. A good blog with exciting content, that is what I need. Thank you for keeping this website, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can not find it.
Wow! Your website is astounding 🙂 I will suggest it to my wife and any person that could be attracted to this topic. Great work girls <3
This website is amazing. I will tell about it to my friends and anybody that could be interested in this subject. Great work guys!
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
This is cool! Your information is great <3 I will recommend it to my son and anybody that could be interested in this matter. Great work girls 😀
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
This website is amazing. I will tell about it to my friends and anybody that could be interested in this subject. Great work guys!
