AUDUSD has taken another leg up during the day reaching a high of 0.6755 and is now trading around 0.6750 after 0.6733 at the NY close. The USD has weakened further during the session down another 0.25% after weak US PMIs and the FOMC minutes signalled a slowing in tightening.

• AUD has depreciated versus the yen and is now trading around 93.78 but continues to move in a tight range between 93.7 and 94.0. AUD has been traveling broadly sideways against the kiwi, euro and pound.
• The next level to watch for AUDUSD is 0.6797 which is the bull trigger.

WTI oil prices are slightly lower around $77.75/bbl after sinking overnight on news of a softer oil price cap for Russia.
