Yahoo Finance AUD/USD Forex Technical Analysis – Strengthens Over .6922, Weakens Under .6921
The Australian Dollar is trading lower on Wednesday following a 0.4% decline the previous session. Sentiment for the Aussie has taken a hit after coronavirus lockdown measures were reimposed in Australia’s second biggest city of Melbourne on Tuesday.
At 06:52 GMT, the AUD/USD is at .6936, down 0.0008 or -0.12%.
The Aussie is also being pressured by a strong U.S. Dollar as a resurgence of the coronavirus in the United States and the return of lockdowns in some countries boosted safe-haven demand for the U.S. currency.
Risk sentiment was also undermined after Federal Reserve officials expressed concern that rising coronavirus cases could harm economic growth just as stimulus measures start to expire.
Essentially, the Fed officials told traders it’s ok to be worried because it’s hard to determine when the virus will be brought under control.
