AUD/USD awaiting FOMC and remains range bound
FXstreet.com (London) - AUD/USD has stuck to a range on the 0.89 handle and between 0.8909 and the 0.8950’s.
The AUD is still trading on the lows after falling on headlines that 'RBA’s Stevens says Australia needs AUD/USD closer to 85 U.S cents. The calendar is very light today at the end of a long week and it seems like traders are sitting on their hands waiting for the FOMC outcome which is still some way off next Wednesday. There is a growing consensus that is looking for a token taper next week of $5-10b.
