AUD/USD is on a solid recovery mode above 0.6550 on Wednesday, reversing half the previous day’s sell-off. The pair’s rebound is supported by a retreat in the US Dollar across the board, as traders turn cautious ahead of the key US ADP employment report.

However, Aussie buyers seem to face rejection just shy of the 0.6600 level amid renewed China debt worries. Moody’s Investors Service on Tuesday downgraded its outlook on China’s government credit ratings to negative from stable.

The further upside in the Aussie could remain capped, courtesy of the dovish pause by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) a day ago. The RBA held the interest rate steady at 4.35% in November while maintaining a cautious tone on its interest rate outlook.

AUD/USD technical analysis: Daily Chart

From a short-term technical perspective, the pair has recaptured the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.6575 on the road to recovery, having settled Tuesday below the latter.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is pointing north while above the midline, justifying the bounce in the Aussie pair.

Buyers need acceptance above the 200-day SMA to initiate a fresh uptrend toward the July 31 high of 0.6740. Ahead of that, the 0.6700 level could challenge the bearish commitments.

On the downside, strong support is envisioned at the 21-day SMA at 0.6535, below which the 0.6500 mark will be the next cushion. Deeper declines will test the 100-day SMA at 0.6469.

AUD/USD pulls back from monthly high but holds above 0.7000

AUD/USD retreats from the monthly high set earlier this Thursday, sliding back to 0.7000 during the Asian session as a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East undermines the risk-sensitive Aussie. However, recent hawkish comments from RBA officials could support the Australian Dollar. Furthermore, the prevailing US Dollar selling bias, despite Fed hike bets and geopolitical uncertainties, could limit losses for the pair.

USD/JPY declines to a one-week low; eyes trading range support near 157.50 on weaker USD

USD/JPY drops to a one-week low during Thursday’s Asian session, with bears now awaiting a break below multi-week range support near mid-157.00s before placing fresh bets amid a broadly weaker US Dollar. Despite bets for a December Fed rate hike and Middle East jitters, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps USD depressed near a three-week low. Moreover, hawkish BoJ expectations and intervention risks underpin the Japanese Yen, further weighing on the currency pair.

Gold recedes to fresh lows; bears target $4,000

Gold prices resume their decline on Thursday, easing toward the area of two-month lows around $4,050 per troy ounce. Higher crude oil prices have reignited speculation of further tightening by the Fed, supporting the US Dollar and weighing on the precious metal.

The Bank of England just got its clearest reason to hike. Here's what it's really watching

UK inflation as measured by the CPI accelerated to 3.5% YoY in September, up from 3.1% in August, according to the Office for National Statistics. This is the highest level since October 2025, exceeding economists' expectations of 3.4% and pushing inflation further from the BoE's 2% target.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
