FX implications
The news is unlikely to impact markets. Instead, AUD/USD is resting on the trend-line support following a series of profit-taking last week on the trade noise. Bulls will now look for a constructive buy entry so long as the market holds here and breaks beyond the 200-day moving average and close above prior resistance/support area of 0.6930/50.
"Technical indicators, in the meantime, retreat from overbought readings, suggesting the pair may have hit an interim top, to be confirmed it the current decline continues sub-0.6865 a former relevant resistance level,"
Valeria Bednarik, the Chief Analyst at FXStreet argued.
