The euro will have little or no upward momentum this year as the euro zone struggles with recession and its sovereign debt crisis.
If the euro zone crisis eases at some point in the second half of the year, as is expected, global risk tolerance is likely to rise, which is usually positive for the Australian dollar.
Apart from the weakness of the European economy, monetary policy is more likely to loosen in the next several months in Europe than in the Australia.
ECB is expected to cut its main policy by 50 basis points before the end of 2012 to help support the euro zone economy, which is already in recession.
Australia's economy is currently suffering from the slowdown in China, but in the medium term it will continue to benefit from strong Chinese demand for mineral imports.
Australia's GDP growth is forecast to accelerate to about 3% in 2012
The Australian economy should continue to expand at around 3% a year in following years.
here is EW forum, back up your claim with some count
If as according to motive wave, this year lowest is wave 2, and last year high was wave 1. My own count is almost the same. Thus i believe EUR will never drop below 1.23. We are only can go for long in long term investment.
after
Well it was close. Timing was off as I expected more of a bounce before we fell off the cliff. I should have anticipated this because of the timing of the key news releases today. They didn't give us enough time for a bounce. Here is my count adjusted for recent price action.
as per my count cum fundamental
au has plenty of room for a cut but aud has not priced in a rate cut
with china faltering, au export will slow and inflation will slow too
if it is to in-sync, it will have to cut rate
with stock market expected to sell off in short term
aud should be the next big thing
wow.. some really wack counts here on st eurusd. with all those would be 4's intersecting the 1's. only obeying that rule would invalidate more than half the counts here... well anyway.. if those are fit to post this surely must be:

Don't know if my "B" wave to the downside is done but I'm long with stop below $1.2400. Looking for $1.2800ish
You know, some days I really hate my job. No, I actually love it but, sometimes it can be so incredibly stressful and frustrating. I think it went below $1.2400 because I said my stop was there. sigh
