Key quotes
“Domestic factors weigh, with RBA’s Ellis projecting a softer than expected rebound in the Australian economy and employment figures that are likely to remain weak in 2021.”
“Globally, Sino-US tensions should also do the AUD-USD no favours. However, the support at 0.7150 held amid ongoing risk-on sentiment.”
“Continue to expect a 0.7150 to 0.7250 range for now. A deeper retracement to 0.7070 may negate the recent supported posture.”
