Many use the Australian $ as a tool to determine if they should over/under weight risk assets, since the AU$ has a decent track record of suggesting future movements in the S&P 500.
The above chart reflects that SPY has taken a few pauses in its bull market when the AU$ has hit line (1). Of late the AU$ hit this line again and is now breaking support at (2). Momentum is on the side of the bulls at this time.
Has the AU$ lost its touch as a leading risk indicator? Stay tuned!
Crude Oil is another great leading indicator for the S&P 500. Crude is up against a resistance line, just like the AU$. ($100 Crude help SPY post)
