Key quotes
“Charts now indicate few major barriers ahead of the 100dma at 0.9414. The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the Apr-Aug slide comes in around 0.9510.”
“The RBA now has less to say about the currency’s recent value, in Sep repeating that it is possible that the exchange rate will depreciate further over time, which would help to foster a rebalancing of growth in the economy. Should AUD/USD be say 0.94 and rising by the Oct meeting, they might have more to say.”
