AUD/USD: Moving up towards 0.6655 – UOB Group

Rangebound within 0.6535/0.6655 for now

24-HOUR VIEW: “While we expected AUD to ‘trade with an upward bias’ yesterday, we pointed out that “any advance is expected to face strong resistance at 0.6620. Our view was not wrong, as AUD subsequently rose to 0.6619 and then pulled back to trade mostly sideways. The upward pressure has faded, and instead of trading with an upward bias today, AUD is more likely to trade in a sideways range of 0.6565/0.6605.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “After holding a negative view in AUD since early last month, we highlighted yesterday (04 Nov, spot at 0.6585) that ‘the month-long AUD weakness has stabilised.’ We expected AUD to ‘trade in a 0.6535/0.6655 range for now.’ We continue to hold the same view.”
