For the Aussie, domestically it is a big day in respect to the CPI data that is scheduled for release within the next 20 minutes of writing. The price action is better bid currently and in a drift up from the the 0.7573 lows of earlier with eyes on the 0.76 handle on a decent result for the fourth quarter of 2016, and a crucial event considering the RBA's chill-out period and another contraction might have them falling out of their hammock in respect to their interest rate policy as being on hold.
"The Australian Conference Board Leading Economic Index increased 0.5% in November 2016 to 105.3, helping the pair in recovering ground, explained Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet, also noting that early Wednesday, the country will release its Q4 inflation figures, expected little changed from the third quarter figures. "Any kind of deviation will likely affect the pair sharply, with an uptick in figures favoring another leg higher towards the 0.7700 region."
