AUDUSD fumbles, could it be saved?
“Recession fear induce higher demand for safe-haven.”
AUD/USD pared its gains, touching fresh weekly low of 0.6880 after Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony in front of US Senate. During the session, Powell reemphasized that they are committed to bring down inflation. While pace of tightening would depend on upcoming data, he also acknowledged for the first time that their action might tip US into a recession. Likewise, dire economic data from China has further dialled down market demand for Aussie dollar (an economy which is highly dependent on China).
