朝の急落なんだったんでしょうね、気づかなかったおかげで、プラスもないけどマイナスしませんでしたけど、あのチャート見るとちょっと悔しい。
「予想よりも弱い…の発表のあと…」って

THE Australian dollar is trading higher despite taking a hit after the release of weaker than expected domestic unemployment data.
At midday AEDT, the Australian dollar was trading at 105.55 US cents, up from 105.49 US cents yesterday afternoon.
Since 7am AEDT the currency has traded between 105.22 and 105.91 US cents.
The currency fell sharply following the release of Australian unemployment data at 11.30am AEDT.
According to figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) today, unemployment rose 0.1 per cent to 5.2 per cent in February.
Total employment fell 15,400 to 11.444 million in February, the data showed.
OzForex dealer Carly Pickering said the data was weaker than expected but the currency soon recovered much of its lost ground.
"It was an immediate reaction which didn't last long," she said.
She said the market was more focused on the outcome of negotiations between Greece and its private sector bond-holders.
Greece is trying to convince creditors to swap their government bonds for new ones with a lower face value and lower rate of interest.
If it doesn't get 90 per cent of creditors signing up to the deal by tomorrow morning, Greece will not be able to access a €130 billion ($162.19 billion) bailout package.
Without the bailout money, Greece will default on its debts later in March.
If the deal does go ahead, Ms Pickering said, the Australian dollar likely would rally.
"That's going to be the main market mover today," Ms Pickering said.
Meanwhile, Australian bond futures were higher at noon.
At midday AEDT, the December 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 96.030 (implying a yield of 3.970 per cent), up form 95.990 (4.010 per cent) yesterday afternoon.
The December three-year bond futures contract was at 96.470 (3.530 per cent), up from 96.440 (3.560 per cent).
