AUD/USD jumps to challenge 0.93 handle

FXStreet (Guatemala) - After a lacklustre session across global trading, with the AUD/USD fluctuating in a tight range on the top half of the 0.92 handle, the pair has jumped to challenge the 0.93 handle.

The Aussie Q1 GDP printed 3.5% and 1.1% vs consensus 1% QoQ and 3.3% YoY, up from 0.8% and 2.8% in Q4, respectively. For the pair, the attention will now focus on US data being the ADP Employment and Friday’s headliner, payrolls. We also have April trade data; the ISM services PMI (seen little-changed at 55.5); and the Fed’s Beige Book.
