AUD/USD is trying to hold a fresh trend break as renewed selling pressure tests whether the recovery can extend beyond the recent rebound.

The Aussie is coiling beneath 0.7000 ahead of US CPI, with its relationship with US front-end yields strengthening sharply just as markets question whether the Fed will need to hike again this month.

AUD/USD remains below 70c as hawkish RBA minutes contrast with weaker business confidence. Australian jobs data and US CPI are the next catalysts.

AUD/USD faces a volatile week as Middle East tensions, rising oil prices, RBA minutes, Australian jobs and US CPI test the Aussie's recovery.

Aussie is pressing a key trend barrier after rebounding from support, with next week’s CPI report poised to test the recovery.

With major macro catalysts scarce, the Australian dollar is taking its cues from risk appetite and relative yields. Two emerging technical patterns suggest AUD/USD and AUD/JPY could be worth monitoring for very different reasons.

Sr. Technical Strategist Michael Boutros highlights the levels that matter on the USD Majors, commodities, and equity indices charts this week.

AUD/USD enters the week after four straight declines, but softer Fed expectations, stretched positioning and support could slow the selloff.

US yields, dollar strength and fading RBA hike bets have combined to drive AUD/USD to fresh multi-month lows. The macro and technical bias remains bearish, although history suggests parts of the move are now reaching unusually stretched levels.

AUD/USD fell after the RBA rate hike because the central bank's hawkish stance was already priced in while the U.S. dollar stayed firm.

Aussie momentum has deteriorated sharply into quarter-end, with inflation, Core PCE and NFP on tap as AUD/USD closes in on a pivotal technical threshold.

The AUD/USD was unable to benefit from the Reserve Bank of Australia’s 25-basis-point rate hike overnight. The RBA lifted the cash rate to 4.60%, in line with expectations. However, the Australian dollar weakened following the decision, with much of the Bank’s hawkish stance seemingly priced in ahead of the announcement. The US dollar has also remained largely supported following the recent turmoil in the bond markets.

The RBA delivered the expected 25bp hike, but Bullock’s press conference now looms as the bigger volatility risk for AUD/USD and the ASX 200.
