Currency Spotlight: EUR/AUD
31 Mar 2010

It's been a rough ride for the intraday traders since Chinese New Year till late March. Most of the major pairs are in range-bound; moves are non-directional and snappy. The only way to stay profitable during this season is really just not to trade. Those who traded during this season are spending 50% of their time to make back their losses, which is as good as not trading.

However, there is this one pair that stands out from the rest, the eye in the storm - the EUR/AUD.

EUR
Even if you do not anything about fundamental analysis, just by watching Channel News Asia, you would have known that the EUR currency is in crisis with the sovereign debt issues. In the financial markets, they are calling this the "PIIGS" crisis - with Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain in financial trouble.

AUD
With the Reserve Bank of Australia raising the interest rates three times in the last three months of 2009, gave Australia its fundamental strength. Also, in the face of the global slowdown, Australia has managed to keep its economy up through its close trade ties with China whom provides a steady demand for its key commodity exports.

With these two forces in play, EUR/AUD looks pretty set to bound south. In fact, it had started its journey to the South since April 2009.

Let's take a look at March 2010. If you just took the short trades, you would have clocked an easy 10%. This is not counting the long trades that you could have taken in the downtrend channel.
