Re: XAO Analysis
Portfolio reshuffling from Asia to West (only short-term, due to Chinese talk of monetary policy tweaking).
Risk averse bid, higher USD, bond markets. Falling risk assets, commodities, equities.
Falling AUD, odd the talk of rising rates saw an AUD sell-off, if by bond markets alone, aggressive tightening is already priced in (which would mean it was probably priced into the AUD too).
Inventories such as crude oil, have been poor lately, surplus to expectations.
Why?
Demand is increasing/prices are rising/AUD is strong/Inventory is average.
