AUD/USD Analysis
We are in a very strong “risk off” environment right now, and as what is very much a risk currency, and a commodity currency, the AUD is getting completely hammered right now. The USD and especially the JPY are strong so this pair is moving down fast, cutting through another supportive level at 0.7072 and flipping it to resistance, although we can see that the support at 0.7000 still has not been breached and if we do get some bounce back in the stock markets then 0.7000 could be a good launching pad for a long. However the safer trades are with the trend which is very much down.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time. As for the AUD, there will be a release of Retail Sales data at 12:30am.
