After the Home Loans indicator has fallen unexpectedly to -1.5%, the Employment Change has surprised the markets. In Australia were added 71.5 thousand jobs last month, the highest level in almost 13 years. Unemployment rate dropped at 5.4%.
The good labor market data triggered the rally in AUDUSD latest evolution, getting aussie back to 1.04, before the next Monetary Policy Meeting, on speculation that RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) will not cut the interest rate.

Resistance: 1.0410
First good news for AUDUSD was the weekly closing over 1.0150, two weeks ago and after that the rally from last week. At this moment a Morning Star was created, on a weekly chart, at the support mentioned earlier. This could be a bullish signal that tells us the price will go higher, maybe back to 1.06 resistance zone.
