Known as the Australian Dollar (AUD). It has recently recovered the previous losses it had registered in two sessions. Today the Australian dollar is hovering around this psychological level. Today it is performing in a good position. The S&P/ASX remained on the uptrend ahead of the start of the trading session today. Around 200 of its indices fell as it faced resistance in the AUD/USD pair as coal and iron ore prices fell. But it managed to recover the loss in later positions. The Australian dollar suffered losses in the first sessions, but later the Australian currency market recovered intraday losses and turned positive. Finally it was an upward momentum for AUD with loss recovery. And this upward momentum can act as a positive factor for the AUD/USD pair. But one thing after all this is that the US dollar (USD) has strengthened against the Australian dollar (AUD). That was supported by the rise in US Treasury yields observed yesterday.

These dollars are getting stronger and they are also getting stronger due to positive data from the US jobs market. Moreover, the positive data coming out of the US market provides additional support to the strengthening of the greenback.

The Australian dollar price is currently sitting just below immediate resistance at the psychological level of 0.6500. But an important point here is that when the dollar price stays above psychological levels, a breakthrough could potentially prompt further upward movement for the AUD/USD pair. And such an upward movement will lead it to position at 0.6568 with major targets at 0.6550 which basically implies an upward movement. But on the other hand if it is on the negative side i.e. down then key support at 0.6468 weekly low is expected before major support at 0.6450 level. You can read this news for details about this.
