AUDUSD traded higher Thursday and breached 0.7187, Dec 9 high. This appears to have been a false break - the Aussie failed to hold onto recent gains and has traded lower. Attention is on support at 0.7090, the Dec 14 low that was probed yesterday. A clear break would strengthen a short-term bearish threat and expose support at 0.7040, Dec 7 low. Clearance of last week's high of 0.7224 on Dec 16 is needed to reinstate a bullish theme.
