In the previous day’s U.S. currency trading, the AUD/USD pair surged by approximately 110 pips from 0.715 to 0.726 as the Dollar Index fell slightly to 96.7.The AUD/USD pair is rising with momentum that is approaching its recent high of 0.728 on the 4-hour chart, and since there is still room to reach the daily 200-day SMA, we will monitor the situation in Ukraine closely and make a cautious judgment on whether this upward trend will continue.
European currencies are under pressure from the firm Australian dollar, causing the EUR/AUD pair to decline. The pair has formed a long bearish candle, falling from 1.558 to 1.541. On the daily chart, the EUR/AUD pair has been falling steadily without any pullbacks since the 7th of last month. If this downward trend continues, we need to carefully assess whether the pair will rebound at the support level near 1.536, which is the recent low on the weekly chart.
Today’s schedule includes the Turkish Manufacturing PMI at 16:00 CET, the Swiss Manufacturing PMI at 17:30 CET, the UK Manufacturing PMI and Mortgage Approvals at 18:30 CET, the German Consumer Price Index (flash estimate) at 22:00 CET, the Canadian GDP at 22:30 EST, the US Manufacturing PMI at 23:45 EST,U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI, U.S. Construction Spending, at 27:30 UK MPC Member Saunders’ remarks, at 28:00 UK MPC Member Mann’s remarks, U.S. Bostic: Atlanta Fed President’s remarks, U.S. Mester: Cleveland Fed President’s remarks, and at 6:45 the following day, New Zealand Housing Construction Permits are scheduled to be released.We will keep a close eye on the Australian dollar’s movements, taking geopolitical risks into account.
