什莫叫It was just one of those funny nights where the currency markets had a mind of their own???

Senior international economist at Westpac, Huw McKay, says there was no particular reason driving the overnight currency market activity.
"Just as London trading morphed into New York, a small move in the US dollar began and the Australian dollar was one of the worst performers against that trend," he said.
"Quickly it just started to feed on itself and before we knew it the Australian currency was down only half a cent above parity.
"The data flow out of the United States was very minor and there was no fundamental catalyst for what happened.
"It was just one of those funny nights where the currency markets had a mind of their own."
The surge also saw the US dollar surpass 100 Japanese yen for the first time in four years.
On Monday, the Australian dollar came under pressure because of rumours that billionaire US investor George Soros was planning a raid on the currency before Tuesday's interest rate announcement.
But Mr McKay says it is unlikely that had anything to do with last night's movements.
"That name is a very powerful one in foreign exchange markets, he has a very, very long history in these matters," he said.
"But I really do not think that is going to drive individual decision-making on a day-to-day basis."
The Australian dollar may be subject to further volatility later today, when the Reserve Bank releases its quarterly statement on monetary policy. |
