AUD/USD climbs closer to November highs

FXStreet (Moscow) - AUD/USD reached 5-month high at 0.9460, last seen on November, 3, and is still on the move up.

The Aussie has a thorny way up

Here we are, the AUD/USD has broken the November high at 0.9448 and now only the sky is the limit for the Aussie bulls. We believe that the pair is strongly overbought and a healthy correction is very welcome. The psychologically important level of 0.9500 might become a barrier as there are strong offers clustered on approach, while option barrier serves as just another hurdle for the bulls. From the fundamental point of view, positive data on initial jobless claims may support the US Dollar across the board. Also keep an eye on import prices as they serve as an early indication of inflationary process.
