FXstreet.com (San Francisco) - The EUR/AUD cross continues to climb in North America, extending to as high as 1.1897 as price approaches the 1.19 figure and Fibonacci resistance at 1.1915 (23.6%, 1.3031/1.1575). Above there, further resistance is noted at 1.1960 (55-day EMA).

According to Westpac’s Real Money flow studies, risks appear to be weighted towards more near term EUR/AUD upside, says Richard Franulovich of Westpac in New York: “But, even a modest correction in Real Money appetite for AUD vs. EUR will see this cross trade well through 1.20, all the while remaining consistent with the multi-year downtrend in the cross and the longer term preference for AUD,” comments Westpac.
