AUD/USD picks up bids to 0.7175, licking the previous day’s wounds amid the early Asian session on Tuesday.
The risk barometer pair began the week with mild losses as traders brace for Wednesday’s US inflation data amid hawkish hopes from the Fed. Adding to the quote’s weakness were downbeat data at home and challenges emanating from geopolitics, as well as covid, frontiers.
Increasing chatters over inflation weighed down the market’s risk appetite and propelled the yields, as well as the US dollar. Recently, the prepared remarks for today’s Testimony by Fed Chair Jerome Powell also mentioned the Fed Boss as saying, “Will stop higher inflation from getting entrenched.”
It should be noted that the steady US inflation expectations, as per 10-Year Breakeven Inflation Rate numbers from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED), joins higher inflation components of the December NY Fed’s survey of consumer expectations to magnify the key concerns and weigh on AUD/USD.
Elsewhere, Australia’s easing in covid cases during the weekend fades with the latest figures above 63,000 daily infections, with major threats from New South Wales. The Pacific major is also known to have witnessed a dearth of Ambulance services and vaccines for a short period recently.
Additionally, the US-China tussles continue, recently over trade and the human rights issues, and the Russia-Ukraine matter gains major attention ahead of this week’s Washington-Moscow meeting, weighing on the commodities and Antipodeans amid cautious mood.
Against this backdrop, the US 10-year Treasury yields crossed 1.80% before closing with 1.4 basis points (bps) of a downside to 1.75%. Further, Wall Street also dropped more in the initial hours ahead of the daily mixed close.
Moving on, Australia’s Retail Sales and Trade Balance for November will be the immediate catalysts for the AUD/USD pair. Forecasts suggest downbeat figures of Retail Sales to 3.9% from 4.9%, as well as a reduction in the trade surplus from 11220M to 10600M.
AUD/USD portrays a Break-Pullback-Continuation (BPC) chart pattern on the four-hour play while observing Thursday’s rising wedge confirmation, followed by a corrective pullback from 50% Fibonacci retracement of December’s advances.
Given the recent U-turn from the previous resistance, the Aussie pair eyes further losses below the 0.7200 round figure, backed by receding bullish bias of the MACD signals.
It’s worth noting, however, that buyers will gain confidence on a clear upside break of the 0.7200 mark, comprising the 100-SMA and bearish wedge’s support line, now resistance.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
