The Aussie is back in the ascendancy and outperforming with some assistance from encouraging PMIs and the fact that it survived a test of support ahead of 0.7100 vs its US counterpart in the form of the 100 DMA (0.7106) and 1.0650 or so against the Kiwi. However, 0.7150 and 1.0700 may cap further upside barring another pronounced upturn in broad risk sentiment.
It remains to be seen whether the Greenback can withstand renewed downside pressure after overcoming several wobbles late yesterday and extending recovery gains overnight, but for now the signs are looking ominous as certain G10 rivals rebound on a combination of fundamental and technical factors. Indeed, the index is beating a relatively hasty retreat from a 93.129 peak to 92.724, thus far, ahead of Markit’s US flash PMIs that may or may not help the Dollar regroup.
