Daily Price Outlook

    The AUD/USD pair closed beneath the 0.6550 benchmark yesterday, further solidifying the forecasted bearish trajectory for the imminent timeframe, with an eye on the 0.6400 mark as the subsequent pivotal target.

    The prevailing bullish undertone, as indicated by the Stochastic's upbeat momentum, necessitates the pair to remain under the 0.6550 and 0.6600 thresholds to ensure the continuation of the anticipated bearish momentum. Surpassing these benchmarks could act as a catalyst for the pair's resurgence, initiating a potential rally towards the significant resistance set at 0.6665.

    For today, the anticipated trading spectrum is projected to span from a support level of 0.6490 to a resistance of 0.6590. The day's overarching trend is expected to be bullish.

    Daily Price Outlook

    Regarding 0.6457, the intraday sentiment is again skewed downwards. Following the breach, the descent from 0.7156 to the 100% projection level of 0.6457 from 0.6894 to 0.6195 will persist. As long as resistance remains at 0.6738, any potential recovery will maintain a slight downward risk for the immediate future.

    During the Asian trading session on Wednesday morning, the AUD/USD pair remains subdued at 0.6555. Reports concerning the US-China relationship continue to strengthen the prevailing inclination towards purchasing US Dollars.

    However, it's worth noting that the US government intends to focus solely on Chinese businesses generating over 50% of their revenue from quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI). According to Bloomberg, an executive order by US President Joe Biden regarding this ban is expected this week.

    Recent developments between the world's two largest economies might benefit the Australian Dollar (AUD) acting as a liaison for China while adversely affecting the AUD/USD pair.

    Daily Price Outlook

      The AUD/USD pair made a valiant attempt to break through the 0.6550 level but encountered robust support, leading to a momentary wavering just above it. Meanwhile, the Stochastic indicator has climbed to overbought levels, fueling speculation of a potential return to negative trading and a possible breach of the aforementioned support, which could then open the path towards 0.6400 as the next significant target.

      As the battle between bulls and bears unfolds, the dominant outlook points towards a continued downward trend in the intraday and short-term levels. However, if the 0.6550 level manages to hold firm against negative pressure, it could effectively halt the bearish scenario and propel the price higher, introducing a twist to the narrative.

      Market participants are bracing themselves for today's trading, anticipating a range between the support level of 0.6500 and the resistance level of 0.6600. The tension rises as we eagerly await the outcome of this exciting market dynamic!

      Daily Price Outlook

      The AUD/USD currency pair initially showed signs of a bullish trend, but it could not sustain the momentum and experienced a significant drop after encountering strong resistance near 0.6590 during the European session. However, the decline was primarily driven by a major rebound in the US Dollar Index (DXY) as traders eagerly awaited the release of the United States Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data at 12:30 GMT.

      The NFP report is highly anticipated and could have a major impact on the movement of the currency pair. As a result, the market sentiment is cautious, with investors exercising caution and refraining from making bold moves until the crucial economic data is unveiled.

      Impact of US Market Developments on AUD/USD Currency Pair

      The AUD/USD currency pair could be influenced by recent developments in the US markets. However, the significant gains in S&P500 futures and the rebound of the US Dollar Index (DXY) around 102.40 indicate strength in US equities and a hopeful sentiment ahead of the labor market report. Thereby, the positive US labor market data may lead to concerns among Federal Reserve policymakers, potentially triggering a recovery in inflationary pressures.

      Consequently, the AUD/USD pair might face pressure as the US Dollar strengthens, possibly resulting in a decline in its value. Traders must closely monitor US labor market data and its impact on inflation, as these factors could significantly influence the AUD/USD pair's short-term movement.

      RBA Minutes and Inflation Target Weigh on AUD/USD Pair

      Despite the recent release of less-hawkish RBA minutes from August, the Australian Dollar failed to gain support. The RBA policymakers expressed the possibility of further tightening due to inflation moving towards the 2% target by late 2025. This cautious stance could limit the Aussie's upward momentum, potentially putting downward pressure on the AUD/USD pair as investors reevaluate their expectations for the RBA's monetary policy outlook.

      Thereby, traders need to closely monitor any updates in the RBA's stance and its impact on inflation to better understand the potential direction of the AUD/USD pair in the short term.

      Daily Price Outlook

      The AUD/USD pair recovers from recent losses, breaking a three-day losing streak. The US GDP and Personal Consumption Expenditure data had put pressure on the Australian dollar, but positive developments in China's motivation plan provide momentum.

      Market participants are eagerly awaiting the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) Interest Rate Decision on Tuesday for further direction. Currently, the pair is up 0.48% for the day, trading near 0.6681.

      Contrary to the market forecast of 3.1%, the Personal Consumption Expenses (PCE) Price Index for June declined to 3% from May's 3.8%. The Core PCE Price Index, a key inflation indicator for the Federal Reserve, came in at 4.1% annually, lower than the projected 4.2% and down from 4.6% in May.

      Additionally, China's State Council Information Office announces that Li Chunlin, vice chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, will hold a press conference with other representatives to announce measures to boost consumption.

      This development could support the Australian Dollar (AUD), acting as a broker for China, and contribute to increased household demand amid a slow post-COVID recovery.

      The AUD/USD pair's recovery is approaching the 0.6700 level, driven by stimulus hopes and overlooking mixed China PMI and Aussie inflation clues. On Monday, the pair recorded its first daily gains in four days, rebounding from three-week lows and trading slightly higher around 0.6670.

      Positive cues from China's official activity statistics and Australian inflation signals are influencing the market's slightly positive sentiment and the decline of the US Dollar.

      Despite China's official NBS Manufacturing PMI rising to 49.3, Non-Manufacturing PMI declined to 51.5.

      Australia's TD Securities Inflation increased in July from 0.1% to 0.8% MoM, but annual statistics decreased from 5.7% in June to 5.4% in July. In contrast, Australia's Private Sector Credit in June eased to 0.2% and 5.5% on a MoM and YoY basis, respectively, down from 0.4% and 6.2% in May.

      AUD/USD - Technical Analysis

      The AUD/USD pair faced a brief dip below the 0.6665 level but has since shown signs of recovery, prompting a positive start to the day and signaling a potential bullish bias in the upcoming sessions. The pair is expected to aim for the 0.6780 level in the short term.

      The bullish trend is supported by the positive stance of the stochastic indicator. However, it is crucial to monitor the 0.6665 level, as a break below it and sustained trading below this point could halt the anticipated rise and lead to further losses.

      For today's trading, the projected range is expected to be between the support level at 0.6630 and the resistance level at 0.6750.

      Overall, the outlook suggests a bullish trend for today's session, but cautious observation of key levels is essential in navigating potential market movements.

        Daily Price Outlook

        On Wednesday, AUD/USD pair is declining by -0.24% at 0.6773. It has lost about half of its previous daily gains. The declining prices of the AUD/USD pair are driven by weaker Australian inflation figures, a stronger USD supported by positive US economic data, and uncertainty surrounding the Fed's policy outlook. Traders should closely monitor these factors for potential shifts in the AUD/USD pair's direction.

        Australian consumer inflation figures, with the headline CPI falling short of expectations at 0.8% in the Q2 and the annual rate decelerating to 6.2%, suggest a weaker economy. This, in turn, raises the possibility of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) pausing future rate hikes, leading to a weakened Australian Dollar.

        Simultaneously, the US Dollar is also under pressure today after reaching two-week high yesterday supported by positive US macro data that reflects a resilient economy. Upbeat US consumer confidence data fueled optimism that the US may avoid a recession this year. However, the weak performance of USD ahead of FOMC is keeping check on AUD/USD losses for today.

        Following the potential upcoming 25 bps lift-off during the two-day FOMC monetary policy meeting, investors have discounted the likelihood of any further interest rate hikes. Yet, there is skepticism regarding the Fed's commitment to a more dovish approach. 

        Hence, market attention will be fixed on the accompanying monetary policy statement and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's post-meeting press conference remarks. These will be closely analyzed for hints about the future rate-hike trajectory, influencing the greenback prices and providing new direction to the AUD/USD pair. 

        However, there are factors limiting further losses for the AUD/USD pair. Hopes for more stimulus measures from China are bolstering global equity markets, which, in turn, restricts gains for the safe-haven USD and provides some support to the risk-sensitive AUD.

        AUD/USD - Technical analysis

        The AUD/USD pair started the day with evident bearish sentiment, attempting to distance itself from the 0.6780 level. This reinforces the expectation of a continued bearish trend in the upcoming sessions, with the next main target anticipated at 0.6665.

        The impact of the double top pattern remains in effect, further supporting the likelihood of reaching the awaited targets.

        Additionally, the technical indicators are currently showing negative signals. It is important to note that a breach of the 0.6780 level would halt the expected decline and potentially lead to a price increase.

        Traders will closely monitor the FOMC and Fed rate decision, which could significantly impact the AUD/USD pair's movement.

        For today, the projected trading range is between the support level at 0.6700 and the resistance level at 0.6810.

          Daily Price Outlook

          As long as the AUD/USD exchange rate remains above 0.6594, the trading range is expected to remain neutral. The presence of the resistance level at 0.6710 suggests a potential further decline.

          However, if the rate breaks below 0.6594, the downward movement from 0.6898 is likely to resume, with the next support level at 0.6457.

          The AUD/USD price analysis highlights Australia's employment-driven rebound from the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) towards 0.6850.

          This rebound marks the largest daily gains in a week and ends a four-day losing streak for the currency pair.

          The positive surprise from the June Australian jobs report contributes to the positive sentiment. As of the time of writing, the AUD/USD pair is trading near the intraday high of 0.6840, reflecting a 0.90% increase.

          It's worth noting that the employment change and unemployment rate in Australia showed positive trends in June, while the participation rate slowed and part-time employment statistics declined.

          The AUD/USD pair starts the day with an upward rally, breaking above the 0.6780 level and indicating a potential return to the bullish trend. This movement is influenced by positive Australian economic data and supported by the stochastic indicator, suggesting a continuation of the bullish bias and aiming to achieve positive targets around 0.6924.

          Therefore, further upward movement is anticipated in the upcoming sessions, unless there is a break below the 0.6780 level and a sustained hold below it.

          For today's trading, the expected range is between the support level at 0.6780 and the resistance level at 0.6890.

          Overall, the trend for today is expected to be bullish, but it is important to monitor the price action for any potential reversals or shifts in market sentiment.
