AUD/USD comes with a negative bias

FXStreet (Guatemala) - AUD/USD is trading at 0.9261, down -0.17% on the day, having posted a daily high at 0.9288 and low at 0.9259.

AUD/USD is starting out the week with a bearish bias with last weeks jobless rate in mind that supports the RBA’s dovish stance of late. Meanwhile, analysts at TD Securities explained that they expect businesses will be a little more optimistic about the future in July this week, although the net balance for employment will be our focus after last week’s employment report shocker. “We expect a jump in the Westpac consumer sentiment in August given the recovery in the weekly ANZ-Roy Morgan measure. Wages growth is expected to be subdued in Q2 (+0.7%/qtr or 2.6%/yr) with the legislated lift in minimum wages not effective until Q3”.
