AUD

Despite some volatility through the session, AUDUSD is flat at 0.6647. It fell to 0.6637 following the lower-than-expected Australian CPI data but then rose to a high of 0.6676 driven by greenback weakness, breaking initial resistance and heading towards 0.6687, the next level to watch. The USD index is off its intraday low but still down 0.1%.

  • Aussie is down against the majors especially kiwi after a surprise hawkish hold from the RBNZ. AUDNZD is down 0.9% falling through 1.08 to 1.0742. AUDJPY is 0.2% lower at 97.90, AUDEUR -0.1% to 0.6045 and AUDGBP -0.1% to 0.5232.
