AUD/USD Outlook: Can RBA's Comments and US Dollar Strength Sway Movement?

-

AUD/USD is showing signs of stabilization near 0.6465, marking its second consecutive session of attempts to recover.
 
The Australian dollar finds some support from the hawkish comments made by Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Michele Bullock. Bullock stated that interest rates are restrictive and will remain so until the RBA is fully assured of the inflation outlook.
 
Investors are keenly awaiting the publication of the minutes from the last RBA meeting, which is expected this week. The minutes will provide deeper insights into the RBA’s future policy actions.
 
Additionally, upcoming releases on November’s industrial and services sector data could further influence the Australian dollar’s trajectory.
 
Despite these supportive factors, AUD/USD remains near three-month lows, pressured by a strengthening US Dollar. The US dollar has benefited from expectations that the Federal Reserve might opt for a more minor rate cut amid robust economic forecasts under President Donald Trump’s administration.

On the H1 AUD/USD chart, the market continues to form a narrow consolidation range around 0.6464. In case of a downside breakout, we anticipate the second half of the downward wave continuing, targeting 0.6333. Conversely, a corrective move towards 0.6500 is possible if the market breaks upwards.

Technically, this scenario is supported by the Stochastic oscillator, with its signal line positioned below the 80 mark and pointing down towards 20.
