AUD/USD
made another attempt to consolidate above the 0.7200 level but was rejected from
the 21-day SMA and fell all the way back to 0.7150, giving up most of its post
RBA gains.
The RBA refrain from cutting rates on Tuesday, giving the
Aussie a boost across the board. However, the rally of AUD/USD stalled at at
0.7223 where it posted a weekly peak earlier on the day. At time of writing, the
pair is trading at 0.7160, down 0.33% on the day.
Above expectations US
data (ADP, trade balance, ISM services) helped the greenback to take back
losses, as investors await Friday’s NFP report. Fed Chairman Yellen was
testifying before the Congress, but made no comments on monetary
policy.
