- US Dollar Index stays in red around mid-96s.
- Brexit headlines dominate the first half of the day.
- Market action is likely to remain subdued.
After moving sideways near 0.7250 during the first half of the day, the AUD/USD pair came under a modest bearish pressure and dropped to 0.7235 before recovering some of its recent losses. As of writing, the pair was down 0.12% on the day at 0.7254.
A broad-based USD weakness caused by rising demand for the British pound following the news of the EU Commission approving the draft of the post-Brexit ties declaration allowed the pair to reverse its course. As of writing, the US Dollar Index was losing 0.2% on the day at 96.50. With American traders enjoying their Thanksgiving holiday, the price action of the pair is likely to remain subdued in the remainder of the day.
There won’t be any macroeconomic data releases from Australia on Friday either and the pair could extend its consolidation into the weekend.
