The path of least ordsprog

The path of least resistance for the Australian dollar is down. Base-metal prices are likely to continue to come off a bit as inventories rebuild.

Given the drop in gold prices and base metal prices I would see the upside to be quite limited for the Australian dollar today.

Base metal prices have been much firmer lately, with declining inventories for zinc pushing up prices.

Despite the lofty gains in the Australian dollar, commodity prices have meant it now looks undervalued. Any short-term dips in the Australian dollar now need to be bought.

There's a risk of weakness in the Australian dollar in the next couple of days. Any decline in commodity prices is bearish for the Australian dollar.

There's a risk of weakness in the Australian dollar in the next couple of days, ... Any decline in commodity prices is bearish for the Australian dollar.

Strong commodity prices certainly do the Australian dollar no harm. But as we have seen, yield spreads are far more potent for the Australian dollar.

There are many upward pressures on gold that continue to take it higher, like the deficit, the weakness of the dollar and additional Iran threats. The path of least resistance is up.

Given the increased correlation between base and precious metals over recent months, any further weakening in base metal prices would be a distinct drag on gold.

We see scope short-term for the Australian dollar to trade higher. You can't argue the commodity story is hurting the Australian dollar.

The Australian dollar doesn't have a lot going for it in terms of an investment opportunity. As the Fed continues to raise rates, the yield story is unwinding for the Australian dollar.

We continue to believe that further USD weakness in coming sessions will push the Australian dollar above US$0.7500 and that the U.S. dollar will remain the key directional driver, despite today's trade balance data.

Craig Ferguson (1962-)

My gut instinct is that the Australian dollar will wobble a bit lower from here. The interest rate differential is slowly being eroded. The Australian dollar is now less attractive to overseas investors.

The impact of day-to-day changes in the yield spread remain significant for the Australian dollar. Some people are building in the case for a rate cut in Australia by year-end so that's clearly an issue for the Australian dollar.

The real dichotomy in this market is that crude inventories are very high and that could make for some violent, back-and-forth price action. For the foreseeable future, the path of least resistance remains up until there is a significant structural economic or political shift.
