- Australian jobs market dented by Delta variant
Chart 1: GBP/AUD H4 chart
The UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) reported a rise in annual inflation in August to a 9-year high level of 3.2%. As mentioned in this post, the rise in inflation was due to base effect. On the other hand, the Australian employment data released earlier today indicated that the jobs market took a strong hit in August due to the reimposed lockdown in several parts of Australia, losing 146,300 jobs. As a result, GBP/AUD strengthened.
At the moment, GBP/AUD is testing to break above the 1.89 handle. Breaching above this level will present us with buying opportunities of GBP/AUD.
