AUD/USD drops as RBA keeps rates on hold but adopts mildly dovish stance while EUR/JPY, USD/JPY retain their upward trajectory.
AUD/USD drops on mildly dovish RBA stance
AUD/USD slid back below its $0.6400 mark as the RBA kept rates on hold at 4.35% but adopted a mildly dovish stance. The cross nonetheless remains above Friday' $0.6373 low, made close to the August low at $0.6349. While both levels underpin, a minor recovery towards the $0.6434 late November low may ensue.
Further minor resistance is found along the September-to-November downtrend line and the 29 November high at $0.6482 to $0.6528.
