AUD/USD bears in control ahead of Nonfarm Payrolls
FXStreet (Guatemala) - AUD/USD is currently trading at 0.7133 with a high of 0.7152 and a low of 0.7126.
AUD/USD has been on a bearish run and comments from Stevens underpinned the downside intentions of the bears with dovish commentary while still not signalling that a rate cut is necessarily on the cards.
The markets are however expecting action from the Fed in December and all data is being closely scrutinized to check that it is released within the brackets of where the FOMC anticipate them fueling inflation towards their target of 2% in the medium term and supporting an improved jobs market. The Nonfarm Payrolls is expected to a positive and an prelude to the FOMC meeting in December for a possible hike for the Fed.
