The AUD/USD pair is ending Monday unchanged around 0.6715, after hitting a daily high of 0.6732 during Asian trading hours. The coronavirus outbreak continues, although there were no correlated headlines that could trigger demand for safety, which helped to keep the pair above 0.6700. Australia didn’t release relevant data this Monday, although, during the upcoming Asian session, the RBA will release the Minutes of its February meeting. Policymakers are expected to maintain their wait-and-see approach after Lowe mentioned the economy is in a “gentle turning point,” a couple of months ago.
