AUD/USD bulls taking back control

FXStreet (Guatemala) - AUD/USD is currently trading at 0.7390 with a high of 0.7397 and a low of 0.7354.

AUD/USD has resumed the upside with markets digesting the recent blow out for the bulls with the PBoC devaluing on a number of stages throughout the course of the week, and it now seeming that there is no further basis for a continued currency depreciation, coupled with an upbeat speech on the labour market from RBA's Kent, AUD/USD has got back on to the bid. Commodities have been supported also, with gold rising back to test $1,120 psychological level. We now await CPI's and the FOMC minutes next week as next driver.

AUD/USD testing upside for gains on to 0.7400

AUD/USD is testing the upside, and is seeking out territory for a close in the 0.74 handle to stand in good stead for further upside potential next week. However, Karen Jones, chief analyst at Commerzbank explained that only a daily chart close above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 0.7440 and the 0.7448 July 21 high will trigger a recovery towards the 0.7531 55 day moving average. 0.7235 is major support on further supply.

NZD/USD erases daily losses, still down for the week

The kiwi was able to erase losses against the US dollar but still remains among the worst performers on Friday and also during the week.
