The Australian and NZ dollars weakened against their major
counterparts on Friday amid risk aversion, as investors continue to
worry about the Federal Reserve's aggressive monetary policy stance
that could push the economy into a recession.
U.S. non-farm payrolls data due later today could provide more
clarity on the pace of rate hikes in the future.
Economists expect employment to jump by 250,000 jobs in
September, after an increase of 315,000 jobs in August. The
unemployment rate is expected to hold at 3.7 percent.
Hawkish comments from several Fed officials pointed to the
central bank's commitment to bring inflation down through the
aggressive tightening cycle.
Fed Governor Lisa Cook, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans and
Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari all reiterated that the
central bank is prepared to deliver more rate hikes to rein in high
inflation.
The aussie touched 0.6385 against the greenback, its lowest
level in nine days. Should the aussie falls further, it is likely
to face support around the 0.60 region.
The aussie was down against the yen, at a session's low of
92.63. Next key support for the aussie is seen around the 90.00
level.
The aussie edged down to 1.5313 against the euro and 0.8784
against the loonie, off its early highs of 1.5240 and 0.8829,
respectively. The aussie is likely to challenge support around 1.55
against the euro and 0.86 against the loonie.
The kiwi weakened to 4-day lows of 0.5627 against the greenback
and 81.61 against the yen, from its prior highs of 0.5674 and
82.28, respectively. The kiwi is seen finding support around 0.53
against the greenback and 79.00 against the yen.
The kiwi declined to 2-day lows of 1.7368 against the euro and
1.1351 against the aussie, after rising to 1.7266 and 1.1309,
respectively in early deals. The currency is poised to challenge
support around 1.76 against the euro and 1.16 against the
aussie.
Looking ahead, U.S. and Canadian jobs data for September and
U.S. consumer credit for August will be published in the New York
session.
