EBC Forex Snapshot, 21 Mar 2024


The dollar slid on Thursday after the Fed marinated its projections of interest rate cuts for the year. The australian dollar jumped as data showed employment rebounded sharply last month.


The country’s jobless rate dived to 3.7% as employers shrugged off signs of an economic slowdown to boost staff numbers by triple the level expected. The strong result dumbfounded economists.

Earlier this week, RBA governor Michele Bullock indicated a rapid increase in unemployment could prompt the central bank to start cutting interest rates. The labour market has been in for a bumpy ride.
