AUD/USD Erases CPI-Bounce as US Yields Still Dictate Play

AUD
  • AUD/USD has now reversed the entirety of the CPI-inspired run higher, retreating over 50 pips from the session high of 0.6400. The Tuesday NY lows of 0.6344 are giving way at typing, opening the Monday and weekly lows of 0.6289. AUD/NZD is mimicking the price action, retreating back to flat after printing a tenth consecutive session of higher highs. A negative close Wednesday would be only the second in 11 days.
  • The pullback in AUD, against both USD and NZD, shows how US yields remain a more influential factor for the currency relative to domestic developments, with intraday price action closely following the creep higher in the US 10y yield so far Wednesday:
