AUD/USD :Expected to edge lower, possibly reaching 0.6460 – UOB Group

The Australian Dollar (AUD) is expected to edge lower, possibly reaching 0.6460. The major support at 0.6440 is likely out of reach. In the longer run, AUD is likely to decline further; the levels to monitor are 0.6460 and 0.6440, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.

Major support at 0.6440 is likely out of reach

24-HOUR VIEW: “We noted yesterday that AUD ‘is under mild downward pressure.’ We held the view that it ‘could drift lower, but a sustained break below 0.6500 appears unlikely.’ While we got the directional view correct, AUD fell more than expected to 0.6481. Despite the relatively sharp decline, downward momentum has not increased by much. Today, we expect AUD to edge lower, possibly reaching 0.6460. The major support at 0.6440 is likely out of reach. To maintain the momentum, AUD must not break above 0.6530, with minor resistance at 0.6510.”
