Tomorrow, at 15:30 Moscow time, the U.S. real estate market statistics will be updated in terms of the Housing Starts and the Housing Starts (MoM), i.e. the events that demonstrated a significant average profitability of one transaction in news trading.
The forecasts are showing that Housing Starts will decrease, which is likely to affect negative the U.S. dollar in the short term.
On May, 19, at 4:30 am Moscow time, Australian labor market statistics will be updated with the Unemployment Rate - an event that also points to the significant average profitability of a transaction in news trading.
The Unemployment Rate is predicted to reduce, which is likely to support the Australian dollar in the short term.
Thus, in the next two days, excellent opportunities appear, and the implementation of news trading strategy is possible by selecting the appropriate AUDUSD currency pair.
The pair is medium volatile. Comparing the Australian and the U.S. economies, the Australian one seems to be more appealing, so this fact again comes out in favor of the Australian dollar and predicts a possible pair’s growth:
Technically speaking, today the pair is correcting after the April’s decline, and is approaching the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level with upside potential to the 38.2% level.
