Events that marked the week:

On Tuesday, Australian house prices figures were released. The price index for residential properties for the weighted average of the eight capital cities rose 4.1% in the December quarter 2016. The index rose 7.7% through the year to the December quarter 2016. The capital city residential property price indexes rose in Melbourne (+5.3%), Sydney (+5.2%), Brisbane (+2.2%), Adelaide (+1.8%), Canberra (+2.8%), Hobart (+4.5%) and Perth (0.3%), and fell in Darwin (-1.5%).

There were no data releases from Australia in rest of the week. Danske Bank Research notes that AUD/USD has reversed the move after the US elections which pushed the pair as low as below 0.72 around year-end. In that regard, Danske recognizes the support for AUD from improved global economic conditions and rising commodity prices, but still thinks that the RBA wants to limit the upside in AUD and is ready to soften its tone in case the exchange rate appreciates excessively. In addition, Danske sees relative monetary policies supporting USD versus AUD this year.

 

There will be no major data releases from Australia next week.
