Daily Report: Aussie Rises on Employment Report, Dollar Consolidates

Australian dollar rises today on the back on unexpectedly good employment report. The job market expanded for another month by 24.5k in in October versus expectation of -10.1k contraction. Though, unemployment rate climbed from 5.7% to 5.8% as expected. AUD/USD soars to as high as 0.9368 so far. While upside momentum is diminishing a bit, there is still no clear sign of topping in Aussie yet and the current rise in AUD/USD might still extend further to a test of 2008 high of 0.9849. Against Euro, EUR/AUD, took out previous low of 1.6079 and dives to as low as 1.6017. We're still expecting further downside in the EUR/AUD cross towards lower trend line support at 1.5702 next.
