AUD/USD idling key support zone
FXStreet (Guatemala) - AUD/USD is trading at 0.8979, up 0.20% on the day, having posted a daily high at 0.8999 and low at 0.8927.
AUD/USD came in on the offer post the FOMC yesterday and a portion of the losses have been recouped but only as far 0.8980. However, below 0.8960 Karen Jones, chief analyst at Commerzbank, is looking for another leg down to the 0.8840/78.6% retracement of the move seen this year en route to 0.8660 this years low. The stronger dollar theme may well persist in the week ahead and AUD/USD faces this "headwind", according to analysts at Westpac Banking Corporation ABN while China's deceleration will be “chipping away at commodity prices”.
