How To Trade This?
As always, the general rule of thumb in trading event risk is to wait at least 5 minutes before putting the trade on in order to observe if the market price responds to the fundamentals. With the RBA’s quarterly monetary policy statement, the immediate reaction is typically staid as the governing body is typically transparent going into the event. However, a shift in the big themes often wears on the Australian dollar over time.
