FXStreet (Córdoba) – AUD/USD managed to print a higher high for the day following the release of the latest string of weaker-than-expected US data.
AUD/USD climbed to a peak of 0.7292 before the 50- and 100-hour SMAs crossover offered resistance. The AUD failed to advance further despite USD weakness and it was last trading at 0.7270, still 0.37% up on the day.
The Aussie fell briefly below 0.7200 at the beginning of the Asian session weighed by Chinese inflation data, but managed to shrug-off the soft reading and turned positive for the day afterwards.
