A big week ahead for AUD, NZD and USD traders.
Australia GDP and the RBNZ decision land on Wednesday, before attention turns to US NFP on Friday.
For Australia, GDP is unlikely to carry the same weight as last week’s CPI, but a strong upside surprise could add to expectations for a September RBA hike.
For New Zealand, the rate hike itself is already priced in, so the bigger question is how hawkish the RBNZ sounds about the path ahead.
Then we finish with NFP, where a big surprise could tip the balance for the Fed and create another important move in the dollar, yields and gold.
