AUD/USD hoping to keep the bounce on track, aiming for 0.7300

  • The Aussie managed to recover somewhat through yesterday’s trading, but higher ground remains a slippery slope.
  • Thursday sees limited market activity and a US vacation, further restricting trading volumes.

The AUD/USD pair managed to stage a recovery through Wednesday’s  action, lifting from a near-term bottom just south of the 0.7200 handle, but the intraday buying action was unable to clear above 0.7300, and the pair remains constrained at the 0.7260 level heading into a thin Thursday.

The economic calendar is clear for the rest of the week for the AUD, and with the upcoming US session dark for the American Thanksgiving, and moves for the AUD/USD heading into the tail-end of the week will find themselves missing any potential tailwinds from US Dollar flows.
