A$ Probing 20-day EMA Resistance

AUD

AUD/USD is probing higher. The currency is the best performer in the G10 space so far today, up 0.35%, last in the 0.6440/45 region. This is probing the 20-day EMA resistance point. Breaks above this level didn't prove sustainable in late August/early July, see the chart below.

  • US Treasury futures breaching Wednesday highs is weighing on broader USD sentiment, with the BBDXY nearly off 0.15%. US equity futures are also higher, which is likely aiding risk appetite, although the JPY is largely keeping pace with AUD and NZD gains.
  • Coming up in a little while is August employment data.
