AUD/USD 1-3 month:
Analysts at Westpac suggest that the resilience of US equity markets to the distractions of the Trump administration is a positive backdrop for risk-sensitive AUD, adding the following:
"Chinese markets are of course less helpful as the deleveraging push continues, but the uptrend in steel prices suggests a potential for a recovery in iron ore prices. The rebound in Australian job creation keeps RBA rate cut talk at bay. But multi-month, we expect the ongoing rise in US interest rates to chip away at AUD/USD, leaving it around 0.73 by Q3."

Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet explained that whilst technical indicators have recovered from oversold readings, but pared gains right around their mid-lines , losing upward momentum, buying interest is limited. "Chances of further advances will depend on US self-weakness. US Markit preliminary June PMIs and May New Home Sales will likely define dollar's behavior during this last session of the week."
