Shanghai index, ANZ jobs weighing on the AUD/USD
The AUD/USD has been pushed low off intraday resistance at 0.9960 following a major drop in the early going of the Shanghai session, where the SSE Composite Index stands at 1,955, -51 points lower for the day, or -2.56%. Besides,the ANZ Job Advertisements for the month of June came at -1.8%, not helping to lift the AUD/USD.
AUD/USD technical outlook
According to Jim Langlands, Founder at FXCharts, 0.9000 is next target in focus, saying "there really is not an awful lot of support to hold it ahead of the base of, firstly the minor channel (as per the 4 four hour chart) currently at 0.8910, and then at the base of the major weekly channel, currently at around 0.8875..." On the topside, Langlands notes "we could definitely still see a bounce but I suspect there are an awful lot of importers and asset managers who would like to be able to sell the Aud at higher levels and it maybe that rallies will therefore continue to be limited."
