We include Australia (AU2) in our Watchlist – 18/08/17

We include in our Watchlist the ETF Lyxor AU2 (Australian Index ASX-200) which develops a graphically attractive configuration and enjoys a long-term upward trend, while historically consolidations tend to be buying opportunities.

  • The Australian economy is indeed very dynamic and diversified and highly exposed to the Asian economies. The sharp rebound this week is linked to a “pause” in the Korean crisis, which more than offsets the decline of last week. If this expansion were to persist, AU2 would be one of the first beneficiaries.
  • The weekly chart shows a bullish breakout, which is characterized by prices that came back again above all moving averages and are expected to lead to a positive crossover of the MACD. The monthly chart shows a rebound on the EMA13, which comes in confirmation of this scenario. A new wave of rising is likely to begin.
