AUD/JPY side-lined below 85.00, Healthcare vote eyed
|The AUD/JPY cross is seen clinging onto recovery gains, although failed to hold above 85 handle as losses in the AUD/USD pair limits the upside.
The commodity-linked Aussie remains on the offers, despite risk-on rally in the Asian equities, as the entire base metals complex remains under pressure. Moreover, the recovery remains capped as the bulls take a breather before the US House vote on the Healthcare plan.
Meanwhile, a solid comeback staged by the USD/JPY pair helps keep the sentiment underpinned around AUD/JPY. Looking ahead, the cross now awaits the US macro news and FOMC member Evans’ speech for further momentum.
