UNLOCK OFFERAUD/USD Current Price: 0.7030
- Precious metals consolidated near their weekly lows ahead of the close.
- AUD/USD has bounced just modestly from a critical level, risking further falls ahead.
The AUD/USD pair flirted with the 0.7000 level on Friday, ending the day not far above this last while suffering the largest weekly decline since mid-March. Australian data failed to impress, as the country published the preliminary estimate of the August Trade Balance, which posted a surplus 0f 4294M, below the previous 4607M. Imports were down 7% in the month, while exports fell 2%. By the end of the week, gold prices held steady, with spot trading at around $1,861.00 a troy ounce. The macroeconomic calendar has nothing to offer at the beginning of the week.
