AUD/USD Analysis

This pair has been very quiet since my last forecast on Thursday. This is not surprising as there are major statements due shortly from the central banks of both sides of this pair, in advance of which the action is liable to be limited.

The price has tried to rise but has not really been able to get beyond the round number at 0.9400. It looks like if there is going to be any significant short-term movement today, it will be down.

The Australian bank statement due later as the Asian session begins is likely to provide some volatility.

AUDUSD Forex signal

Regarding the AUD, there will be a release of the RBA’s Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes at 2:30am London time. There is nothing due concerning the USD.
