UNLOCK OFFERAUD/USD Current Price: 0.7730
- Australian May Consumer Inflation Expectations are foreseen at 3.6%.
- Falling equities and gold on higher US inflation pressured AUD/USD.
- AUD/USD has room to extend its slide, mainly on a break below 0.7690.
The AUD/USD pair edged sharply lower to end the day in the 0.7730 price zone, its lowest in over a week. The pair pierced the 0.7800 threshold earlier in the day, undermined by the sour tone of Asian and European indexes, with the decline accelerating after the release of US inflation figures. US indexes were also sharply lower, maintaining the pair under pressure in the last trading session of the day.
The greenback’s strength dragged gold prices lower, which added to the AUD/USD bearish case. Australia didn’t publish macroeconomic data on Wednesday but will release May Consumer Inflation Expectations during the upcoming Asian session, foreseen at 3.6% from 3.2% in the previous month.
