AUD/USD closed last week at 0.6514, marking a second consecutive week of gains, driven by hawkish comments from RBA Governor Michele Bullock and a weaker US dollar following Scott Bessent's appointment as Treasury Secretary. Despite a projected 0.5% rise in Q3 GDP, the Australian economy faces slow growth, with the annual rate expected to remain at 1%. The currency pair is currently oversold, and a sustained move above 0.6550 is needed to shift the outlook towards neutrality.
Asian stock markets opened the week with gains, buoyed by record highs on Wall Street and positive economic data from China. The Nikkei index rose 0.3% to 38,303.68 points, while the Shanghai stock exchange increased by 1.0% to 3360.38 points, supported by a strong private purchasing managers' index. However, shares of Uniqlo's parent company fell 2.45% amid criticism over its cotton sourcing policy in China.

US stock markets closed on a high note, with the Dow and S&P 500 reaching record levels, driven by optimism surrounding potential political changes. Seasonal trends suggest further gains into mid-January, while upcoming job reports and Federal Reserve speeches may influence market movements. The Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 show strong technical support, indicating potential for continued upward momentum.
Asian markets opened quietly, with modest gains in major indices amid fresh US tariff threats targeting BRICS nations. Investors are focused on upcoming US labor data, anticipating a rebound in job additions but a slight rise in the unemployment rate. China's mixed PMI data reflects some success from stimulus measures, yet ongoing tariff uncertainties may limit risk-taking. The Hang Seng Index is stabilizing but remains within a falling wedge pattern, with a critical level at 20,000 to watch for potential buyer control.
