A softer USD and improved China sentiment have been key. This week\u2019s highlights include Australia\u2019s jobs data, the Bank of Japan decision and US retail sales.<\/p>\n<p>The SUD has risen about 1.6 cents or 2.3% so far in January, to just under 0.7000. Price action was quite mixed in the first few days of the year, the Aussie rally only igniting on 6 January when the USD slumped in response to soft data. While the US December payrolls gain of 223k was quite solid and unemployment rate edged down to 3.5%, there was a declaration in wages growth. Moreover, on the same day the US services ISM survey showed a shocking slide in the headline index, to 49.6 in December from 56.5 in November.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the softer US dollar tone was last week\u2019s US December inflation data. Overall CPI slowed to 6.5% from 7.1% in November, while the ex-food and energy CPI eased to 5.7% yr from 6.0%. There is clearly a long way to go to the Fed\u2019s 2% target, but economists found signs in the report\u2019s details indicating ongoing softening in inflation pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The improved China mood is helping AUD on crosses, including AUD\/NZD rallying above 1.09, from around 1.05-1.06 in mid-December. Any pronounced weakness in China\u2019s Q4 GDP or December activity data seems likely to be downplayed as old news, given the pace of change in China\u2019s Covid rules.<\/p>\n<p>Australia\u2019s key data release this month is Q4 CPI on 25th January, but there is always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrememarkets.com\/US\/market-news\/\"><strong>market<\/strong><\/a> interest in the monthly labor force survey.
