Source Fxstreet
Further sideways trading appears likely, probably in a 0.6240/0.6295 range. In the longer run, current price action is likely the early stages of a recovery phase that could potentially reach 0.6350, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.
Price action is the early stages of a recovery phase
24-HOUR VIEW: “Yesterday, we expected AUD to ‘trade sideways between 0.6220 and 0.6290.’ AUD subsequently traded in a narrower range of 0.6253/0.6293. AUD closed largely unchanged at 0.6274 (+0.02%). Further sideways trading appears likely today, probably in a 0.6240/0.6295 range.”
1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “We revised our AUD view to positive on Monday (21 Jan, spot at 0.6275), indicating that ‘the current price action is likely the early stages of a recovery phase that could potentially reach 0.6350.’ Since then, AUD has not been able to make much headway on the upside. However, we will maintain our view as long as 0.6220 (‘strong support’ level previously at 0.6190) is not breached.”

Euro slides to a 17-month low as France's budget crisis spreads — can 1.12 hold?EUR/USD touched 1.1162 on 5 October, its weakest level in 17 months, as France's budget standoff pushed the 10-year OAT above 5% and the OAT-Bund spread to roughly 160bp — the widest since the 2011-12 eurozone debt crisis. The euro now trades near 1.1215 ahead of US jobless claims and a $22 billion 30-year Treasury auction. Here are the levels and the two scenarios to watch.
