AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200 as bulls await US CPI for Fed rate cues

AUD/USD is seen extending its consolidative price action above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Wednesday as traders await the release of US inflation figures later in the week. Meanwhile, rising RBA rate-hike bets act as a tailwind for the Aussie amid Yen-inspired US Dollar weakness.

USD/JPY attracts fresh sellers during the Asian session on Wednesday as the strong Reuters Tankan business survey adds to the case for continued BoJ policy normalisation and boosts the Japanese Yen.

In seven of the eight cycles, the low came before the election. In six of the eight, it came between mid-June and mid-October, which is to say in the exact window that the "they won't let it fall" argument says is protected.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight
