AUD/USD

Trend Theme:AUD/USD breaches 0.6500 to hit three-month lows after Australian CPI data.

Trend Review:AUD/USD has come under intense selling pressure, hitting fresh three-month lows below 0.6500 after softer RBA Trimmed Mean CPI inflation, which reinforced RBA rate cut bets. The Aussie ignores upbeat Australian Retail Sales and Chinese PMIs. Fed is next in focus.

XAU/USD

Trend Theme:Gold price bulls turn cautious ahead of the crucial FOMC policy decision.

Trend Review:Gold price consolidates the previous day’s strong move up and holds above the $2,400 mark during the Asian session on Wednesday.
