Bias remains for AUD to trend gradually higher

"Daily momentum turned bullish while RSI rose. Bias remains for upside play. Resistance at 0.6620/30 levels before 0.67. Support at 0.6550/60 levels 21, 50 DMAs), 0.65 levels. We have long argued that a resilient RMB and RBA nearing end of rate cut cycle can also be supportive of AUD."

"Bias remains for AUD to trend gradually higher as USD softness is likely to return and markets refocus on Fed cut in the months ahead."
