7:30pm (NY Time) AU GDP q/q     Forecast 0.9%    Previous 0.2%
ACTION: AUD/USD      BUY 1.2%        SELL 0.6%

We’ll be looking for a trading opportunity from the quarterly GDP release today out of Australia, which is expected by analysts expectation from Bloomberg to be at 0.9%.  As Australia’s GDP number has maintained on the positive side for the last couple of quarters, this release number will probably not have a trend changing impact on the AUD unless it’s a negative number or flat (0.0%) release.

7:30pm (NY Time) AU GDP q/q     Forecast 0.4%    Previous 0.6%
ACTION: AUD/USD      BUY 0.8%        SELL 0.3%

We’ll be focusing on the quarterly GDP release today out of Australia, which is expected by a wide range of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg to be at 0.4%.  As Australia’s GDP number has maintained on the positive side for the last couple of quarters, this release number will probably not have a trend changing impact on the AUD unless it’s a negative number. 

We’ll be looking for a surprise factor of 0.3%, therefore if we get 0.7% or better, we’ll be BUYING AUD/USD; however, if we get a 0.1% or worse, we’ll probably see AUD/USD test the 0.9000 figure and possibly breakout below.

ACTION: AUD/USD      BUY 0.8%        SELL 0.3%

We’ll be trading the quarterly GDP number out of Australia, which is expected to be the second quarterly positive release as the consensus expectation is at 0.6%.  As a technical recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP, a two consecutive quarters release of positive GDP certainly implies recovery.  This should add to the already highly demanded AUD and boost risk appetite sentiment should we get a 0.8% release.
