Same here, with North Finance AU went up to approx 8055 Is this a data feed error on their behalf? If so, Maybe I can chase this up with them as it hit two of my stop losses set at .7999 lost $942
Market wants to run at .7800 in Aussie front-month future. If 7800 breached, I'll add to the Aussie long position I began prior to BOJ annoucement. As a precaution, in view of holiday trading, I'll stretch my stop a bit, by about 20 percent to approx. 7706-10.
Now in HP territory, long twelve AUS near month futures, avg in .7803. Avg is plus 7800 because of two added at .7834 last week, after BOJ annoucement. HP = high pucker.
Bleeding some hard-won equity. Standing pat, though. Reasons? Consider Australian equities, mining stocks included, which reflect strength in coal, oil, and base metals. That strength is an implied, substantial bid in Aussie. Should hold up for the currency unless US treasury yields steadily rise.
Thursday's early action in Aussie stocks may account for present bid in the Aussie dollar: Dec. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Australian shares advanced, led by BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto Group, after prices of metals including copper gained. The S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 20.40, or 0.4 percent, to 5663.60 as of 10:13 a.m. in Sydney. About two stocks rose for each that fell.
