Daily Forex Market Commentary 3-5-10

Daily Forex Market Commentary:

On Wall Street today stocks jumped across the board as investors cheered a better than expected U.S. jobs report. The report showed that fewer jobs were cut in February than analysts had anticipated while the unemployment rate stayed at 9.7% instead of jumping to 9.8% as expected.

The Dow closed up 122.06 points or 1.2%, the S&P 500 closed up 15.73 points or 1.4%, and the Nasdaq was up 34.04 points or 1.5 percent.

Currencies:

The better than expected U.S. jobs report also caused riskier currencies to rally today. The big winners were the British pound, as well as the Australian dollar. The U.S. dollar fell against most of the majors but rallied strong against the Japanese yen as trader’s flocked out of the safe-haven yen in favor of currencies with higher interest yields.

Currency pair in focus: AUD/JPY

In today’s chart we are focusing on the AUDJPY pin bar setup that we discussed in yesterday’s commentary.

As we can see the trade worked out nicely and popped up right into our recommended target zone of 82.00-82.50, hitting a high of 82.29 for the day.
