    Ano ba yung reason ng paghina na Aussie dollar?

    - Aus economy is not doing well / There is not much srtralia to export than minerals.

    Aus rely mostly on Mining export
    Biggest customer is China
    China growth was reduce meaning they don't need much minerals for development
    Competition lowers the price of minerals being exported inclduning Gas
    UAE does not have plans to reduce gas production therefore more supply in the market causing huge competition for lower price.

    - there are more Aus companies closing/reducing headcount now compare way back in 2008-2009 (GFC)

    Example is the reduction of employee / closing of car manufacturing

    - more companies in aus trying to outsource job in Asia (this is from perosna lobervation) specially in IT. Example is Macquarie Bank - they oursource the It or move most of the IT services in the Phils. Other IT companies are trying to move their services to India or Phils.
    Some are moving back to US.. since US implement new policy for tax break if companies bring back jobs to US.

    Even if they lower AUD, still cheaper to outsource services in Asia.

    Lowering AUD sometimes may cause more harm than good
    - inflate housing prices and encourage housing bubble

    - Gov Budget deficit is increasing
    Gov now starts cutting expenses and benefits
    Increasing pension to 67yrs old
    planing for a co-payment on health care


    Aust government is letting the house property prices to rise as one of the remaining catalyst to
    - relax policy for foreign buyers
    - lower interest rate


    Since low AUD - more foreign can bring more money to Aus and buy more property and will make it harder for new migrant or next gen to get in to buy property.


    Only promising sector I can see doing well right now in Aus is healthcare
    - research of medicines/devices
    - lower AUD is good for those sector since most clients/customers are overseas
    higher USD means higher conversation for profit

    Bumaba lang kasi yung demand sa langis.. but the drilling and processing of oil is still very costly

    Binawasan na rin nila ang expansions or explorations.
    Kaya nagbabawas ng tao / redundant or nag close ang mga mining services that provide equipment/services to mining.

    @vhoythoy may recession na sa canada...particularly sa oil and gas industry....around 600 na daw ang tinanggal...


    ginastos kasi ng Aus yung budget dati para maiwasan DAW ang recesiion.

    Yabang dati na hindi daw nag recesion sa Australia.


    pero ngayon..... lumaki na yung budget deficit kasi inubos na nila dati hehehe...

    Nag start na recovery sa US... Aus naman ngayon nag dedelikado

    If you have a bearish view of AUD; then you can buy foreign assets and pray that 1USD will equal 0.70 AUD or lower!

    It's challenging the support line again, if it breaks the .77- it will further slide to .75 ---- good news for new migrants, possible bad news din kse it might trigger another round of benefit cuts, bad news for people remitting :(

    Exactly that's what happened to us, dami sinibak sa ibang country samin lalu na sa Land Exploration. kasi hindi kumikita. Mahina naman ang marine division dahil sa pag baba ng oil price. (less client). Hopefully mag pick up ulit ang AUD, that's primary reason why i like Australia over SG.
