Hi all,

how come that although the rate in Australia has gone up the AUD is weaker against the GBP and the Euro?
 
weaker compared to when? You mean overnight?

Simple answer is that the RBA rate hike was well flagged in advance, but the language of the accompanying statement suggested that they may now pause for a while before hiking again. As the market was already very very long aussie dollars, a selloff ensued as people who were primarily concerned with yield pickup got out of positions that may, for the time being, have brought as much benefit as they are likely to for now.

make sense? That's the one line answer...
 
it does make sense... thanks. I am still short but it seems that I am about to be stopped out
 
I had an order to go short at 18029. My idea was to go short if it goes down the weekly 26ema (I use 26 because I found it quite accurate) My stoploss is 18329 the day before high

yesterday when the ISM Manufacturing data came out it triggered my order.
