Euro News: EUR AUD Exchange Rate Rises after Spate of Positive Ecostats

Supporting to Euro is news that, after a German unemployment rate drop to 6% in October, the rate is now at its lowest since 1990.

Australian Dollar Losses Stem from Domestic Data Crash Overriding Iron Ore Support
The Australian Dollar’s winning streak this week has finally run out, with AUD EUR weakening on the back of much worse than expected figures concerning building permits.
While the September permits figure had been forecast to improve from -1.8% to -0.43%, it instead slumped heavily to -8.7%, greatly alarming investors in the process.
Other Australian news has been much more positive, with the price of iron ore continuing its strong uptrend to reach the highest price since the end of April this year.
Future EUR AUD Forecast: Further Euro Gains Possible on Eurozone Unemployment Tomorrow

From Australia, further losses for the ‘Aussie’ may be in store on tomorrow’s early balance of trade result for September, which is predicted to show a deficit expansion from -2.01bn to -2.2bn.
