SYDNEY: The Australian and New Zealand dollars were under fire again on Wednesday after a batch of upbeat US economic data lifted their US counterpart, while domestic news disappointed bulls. The Aussie lapsed to a fresh five-week trough of $0.7275 , having shed 0.7% overnight when US retail and industrial figures came in strong. The breach of support at $0.7277 could see a re-test of the September low at $0.7171. The kiwi dollar crumbled 0.8% overnight to reach $0.6984 and threaten support around $0.6980. A break would open the way to its September low of $0.6860. The Aussie took a further blow when Australian wages data failed to beat expectations as some in the market had been betting on. Annual wage growth ticked up to a moderate 2.2% just as forecast, while bulls had hoped a higher outcome would reinforce the case for an early rate hike from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). "It''s clear that wages growth is well below the 3-4% rates that were the norm a decade ago and the sorts of rates the RBA needs to believe that inflation will sustainably run at 2-3%," said Paul Bloxham, chief economist Australia at HSBC. "Today''s figures support the RBA''s dovish perspective and our own view on the cash rate outlook - our central case has no hikes in 2022 or 2023." That saw the futures market lengthen the odds on a hike just a little, with a move to 0.25% now fully priced in by July next year rather than June.
