June Seasonality Major Currency Pairs
Changes since the Close of the Prior Month
Seasonal trends offer few strong biases for June
among our selection of currency pairs. The picture
for all seven pairs is rather choppy throughout the
month.
USDNOK appears to have a bullish bias but actually
closed higher in only 44% of years. AUDUSD does
tend to see rallies during the third week. The pair
rose in 60% of years by day 15, up 0.4% on average.

5 Day Holding Periods
The 5 day holding period analysis shows few strong directional skews. AUDUSD has seen declines after day 15 in
70% of years with an average change of 0.54%. USDNOK has declined following day 17 in 67% of years with an
average change of 0.2%.
EURJPY saw a modest bullish skew, rising after day 5 in 68% of years by 0.2% on average. AUDUSD rallied after
day 10 in 60% of years with an average gain of 0.4%.
The charts (below) highlight the average change and instance of positive changes for the five days after each
trading day. See the tables on the bottom of page 2 for details.
