  • AUS/USD is trading lower this morning, under 0.64, after Australia’s monthly inflation report accelerated, reflecting the increase in oil prices, leaving the door open for more intervention by the Reserve Bank of Australia. First support seen at 0.6350 and a first resistance level at 0.6520.
  • EUR/USD trades mid 1.05-1.06, around 1.0560, being the most oversold in a year. First support seen at 1.05 and first resistance at 1.0710.ECB’s Governing Council member Robert Holzmann stated that It’s not clear yet whether the European Central Banks is done hiking interest rates, with persistent inflation it is hard to say that borrowing costs have peaked.
