AUD/USD Analysis

The RBA reported earlier and the market reacted fairly bullishly, although it now appears this probably was just a spike, as the RBA is talking about further rate cuts. The next test will be whether the former resistance at 0.7309 can hold. If not, the outlook remains very bearish for this pair, even though it is still technically in an upwards trend.

AUDUSD

There are no high-impact events due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of CPI and Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time.
