AUD/USD drops to 0.8013

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The bargain hunting ahead of the European session failed to provide support to the Aussie as the AUD/USD pair extended losses to trade at 0.8013.

Trades below 5-DMA

The pair now trades below its 5-DMA located at 0.8018. The Antipodeans have been under pressure since the early Asian session today. The bargain hunting around 0.8045-0.8050 failed to lead to recovery as the USD made a comeback across the board during the European session.

Ahead in the day, the pair could take cues from the US industrial production data and preliminary Michigan confidence data.

AUD/USD Technical Levels

The immediate support is seen at 0.8, under which losses could be extended to 0.7971 (10-DMA). On the flip side, a break above 0.8074, above which gains could be extended to its 200-DMA at 0.8140.

USD/JPY extends beyond 119.50

The US dollar remains well bid against the Japanese yen in the mid-European session, with USD/JPY holding gains above 119.50, mainly driven by rising short-term US treasury yields which drives the US dollar higher ahead of a slew of US economy releases later today.
