AUDUSD managed to rebound from 2003 lows that hit in early European session after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cut the cash interest rate by 25 basis points to record low 0.25%. Reserve Bank of Australia said that it would not increase rates until the economy approaches the ‘full employment’ level. Above that, RBA will buy government bonds and set a funding facility to provide credit for small & medium-sized businesses.
On the data front, the Aussie employment report beat expectations. The Australian Employment rose by 26,700 in February topping the forecasts of 6,700; the unemployment rate fell to 5.1% from 5.3%.
The United States Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey came in at -12.7, below the forecasts of 10 in March. The Initial Jobless Claims rose to 281K in the week ending March 14 above the expectations of 220K. Meanwhile, the Fed is focused on ensuring liquidity and proper market function.
