The Australian and New Zealand dollars slid to multi-week lows as firm US data and a global bond selloff lifted the dollar and pushed long-term yields near 15-year highs. The Aussie fell to about 0.7025 after Australian unemployment rose to 4.6%, and markets priced high odds of further RBA and RBNZ hikes.
Global bond selloffs and a stronger dollar tighten financial conditions and can weigh on commodity prices and risk appetite, though the link to feed markets is indirect.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
