Key quotes

“We note that AUD/USD found good support at a trendline that intersects at 0.7140 today.”

“While we remain biased toward a weaker USD overall, a further pullback would first see a test of the 0.7120 pivot, while good support should be seen in the 0.7065/7080 zone.”

“If the upside does get traction once again, the post-crash, 18-month high at 0.7243 as forms the most obvious objective.”
