​​​AUD/USD remains bid

​EUR/USD is heading back up again

EUR/USD rises further and targets the 22 August low at $1.1098. Minor support is seen around the 3 September low at $1.1027. 

​​Only a currently unexpected fall through $1.1000 would likely engage the 21 March high at $1.0942. ​For now we stick to our neutral medium-term forecast with a bullish bias.
