AUD/USD offered on neutral RBA June minutes
FXStreet (Guatemala) - AUD/USD is currently 0.7366 with a high of 0.7387 and a low of 0.7359.
AUD/USD has dropped marginally on the back of a widely anticipated set of neutral June minutes from the RBA where the minutes said, "Leaving the cash rate unchanged was appropriate." One of the main take aways from the minutes was that Q1 GDP has not carried over in to G2 and inflation pressures are well contained. Indicators point to robust growth also. In respect of the Aussie, the minutes said a further decline is expected and necessary.
Analysts at NAB said prior to the release, "This will see the RBA on hold at 2% for an extended period. The Fed continues to edge toward tightening in the next few months, which should provide support for the US$ and allow the $A to continue to ease toward year-end targets of US$0.72."
Technically, the outlook remains in the hands of the bears stays while below the 0.7575 downtrend where we are some way off still, with minor recoveries and bears have the base of the 2 year channel at 0.7204 longer term in their sights.
