Forex Market: AUD/USD daily forecast

During Friday’s trading session AUD/USD traded within the range of 0.9375-0.9425 and closed at 0.9402.

Fundamental view

The NY Empire State Manufacturing Index in the US probably declined to 15.7 in June from 19.01 in the preceding month that was the highest since March 2012.

The index is based on the results of the monthly Empire State Manufacturing Survey. It is conducted in the beginning of each month among roughly 200 executives of manufacturing companies. Participants are asked to share their opinions about different indicators for the preceding month and their 6-month forecast as well, measuring their sentiment. The result is calculated as the difference between the positive and the negative answers. Values above zero are indicative of expansion in manufacturing activity.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will publish its official report at 12:30 GMT. In case manufacturing activity in the state of New York expanded more than expected, this would boost greenback’s demand.

In addition, the industrial production in the country probably rose 0.4% in May, after declining 0.6% in the prior month.

The indicator measures the activity of the industrial sector by estimating the change in the total inflation-adjusted value of output produced by mines, utilities and manufacturers in the US. Information is gathered through surveys and is calculated on a monthly basis.

The Federal Reserve is due to release official data at 13:15 GMT. If industrial output rose more than expected, this will heighten the dollar’s appeal.
