present, after the pair hit fresh YtD lows. AUDJPY trades at 1.0710, while
AUDJPY last trades at 81.90. The immediate event risk is of course Wednesday's
FOMC MonPol decision, with Australia's labour market report due during
Thursday's session.
- The the AUD has been pressured by falling iron ore & copper prices in recent
sessions, with the US protectionist policies adding further pressure to the
trade/China sensitive currency.

tightening MonPol.

16, while the initial support level is the 100-WMA at 0.7626.

support from Mar 20 comes in at 1.0675.
- AUDJPY support lies at 81.22 the YtD low, while initial resistance is seen at
82.29, which acted as support on Mar 16.
