The AUDUSD has traded sideways over the last 24hrs ahead of the RBA Minutes of the latest meeting , where reaction is expected to be limited on the trading pair. The RBA is expected to retain its slightly hawkish stance, however their actions will remain data dependent. Michele Bullock takes over as RBA Chair as of yesterday and has held the ‘company line’ in her initial remarks. Also in the macro pipeline, is the FOMC meeting tomorrow, where it is widely expected that they will not raise rates, but analysts will be combing through the statements for any hint of a ‘dot plot’ for further meetings. The Aussie’s trading pattern is likely to remain rangebound ahead of the local central bank minutes and the US Fed meeting, with day traders looking to sell the fade into 0.6470/80 resistance , while support emerges at 0.6400/15 for today.
