GBPAUD Intraday Strategy
We are exercising our monthly strategy in AUDUSD as described in our 2014 Trading Opportunities in GBPAUD via an intraday entry head of the monetary policy minutes at 01:30am GMT. What encourages us to take the intraday trade in the Sterling-Aussie is RBA Kent comments to the strong Aussie. Remarks that the strong Aussie has its benefits lead us to suspect a hawkish statement is due.
There is a significant risk in attempting to capitalize over the upcoming data but it is a risk we are willing to take as it is line with our bullish projections for the Australian Dollar (AUD).
