Current Market Sentiment and Technicals on AUD/USD H4 ChartThe AUD/USD forex pair, often referred to by its nickname “Aussie,” is a popular currency pair in the forex market, representing the exchange rate between the Australian Dollar (AUD) and the United States Dollar (USD). This pair is influenced by various economic factors, including interest rates, commodity prices, and economic data from both Australia and the United States. Today, the focus will be on several key economic indicators from the U.S. which may impact the AUD/USD pair.
The U.S. Core PCE Price Index m/m is forecasted at 0.2%, indicating a potential influence on inflation expectations and monetary policy decisions by the Federal Reserve. A lower-than-forecast result could weaken the USD, providing some support to the AUD. Additionally, Personal Income and Personal Spending data, forecasted at 0.4% and 0.3% respectively, will give insights into consumer health and economic activity. The Revised University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment and Inflation Expectations are also crucial, as they reflect consumer confidence and inflation outlook. Any deviation from forecasts in these data points could lead to significant movements in the AUD/USD pair. Moreover, the ongoing G20 meetings may introduce additional volatility, as global economic policies and issues are discussed, potentially impacting currency markets.
