AUD/USD Analysis
There has been no change since yesterday of any significance. We remain within a channel and the key levels are all the same. Fading the trend lines still looks to be the best trade at the moment. However it is very unlikely we will reach either line before the FOMC statement and the content of that statement might change the picture dramatically.
There are no high-impact events scheduled later today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of the FOMC Meeting Minutes at 7pm London time.
