AUD/USD: Set to trade between 0.6280 and 0.6330 – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Current price movements appear to be part of a range trading phase between 0.6280 and 0.6330. In the longer run, buildup in upward momentum is slowing; a breach of 0.6265 would suggest AUD is likely to trade in a range vs US Dollar (USD) instead of recovering, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

AUD is likely to trade in a range

24-HOUR VIEW: "Last Friday, we expected AUD to 'trade in a range between 0.6300 and 0.6350.' Instead of trading in a range, AUD fell to a low of 0.6283, rebounding to close lower by 0.41% at 0.6306. The decline lacks momentum, and the current price movements appear to be part of a range trading phase, most likely between 0.6280 and 0.6330."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "Our most recent narrative was from last Thursday (06 Mar, spot at 0.6330), wherein AUD 'could recover, potentially reaching 0.6410.' Since then, AUD has not been able to make much headway on the upside. The buildup in momentum is slowing, and a breach of 0.6265 (no change in ‘strong support’ level) would suggest AUD is likely to trade in a range instead of recovering."

EUR/USD posts modest gains above 1.1650 amid weaker US Dollar

EUR/USD posts modest gains above 1.1650 in the European session on Monday. The prospect of a US Federal Reserve rate cut at its December meeting on Wednesday keeps the US Dollar undermined across the board, supporting the pair amid strong German Industrial Production data.

GBP/USD consolidates above 1.3300 as traders await Fed rate decision

GBP/USD kicks off the new week on a subdued note and oscillates in a narrow trading band above 1.3300 in European trading on Monday. The pair, however, remains close to the highest level since October 22, with bulls awaiting a sustained strength on a potential dovish Fed verdict due later this Wednesday.

Gold holds firm above $4,200; awaits Fed rate decision on Wednesday before the next leg up

Gold sticks to its modest intraday gains through the early European session, though it lacks bullish conviction and remains confined in a one-week-old trading range. The growing acceptance that the US Federal Reserve will lower borrowing costs again this week keeps the US Dollar depressed near a one-month low and acts as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal.

Bitcoin and Ethereum aim for breakouts as Ripple holds at $2

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple record a minor recovery on Monday, starting the week on a positive note. The retail demand for major cryptocurrencies remains strong despite outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange Traded Funds.

The Silver disconnection is real

Silver just hit a new all-time high. Neither did gold, nor mining stocks. They all reversed on an intraday basis, but silver’s move to new highs makes it still bullish overall, while the almost complete reversals in gold and miners make the latter technically bearish.
