AUDUSD
AUD/USD slipped on Thursday, trading around 0.6966 and losing 0.45% on the day. The move lower came despite a better-than-expected Australian employment report, as a firmer US dollar weighed on the pair.
The pair continues to struggle below the 50-day simple moving average, which is acting as a near-term resistance level. Bulls have been unable to sustain a breakout above this technical barrier, keeping the outlook cautious in the short term.
