AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Trading near weekly highs ahead of Australian inflation data
- AUD/USD has essentially been trading sideways since mid-June with the 0.7442 acting as strong resistance.
- AUD/USD has also tested the current weekly high at 0.7439 but has been unable to break through it.
- The RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) trimmed mean Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the second quarter (Q2) and the CPI Q2 are both set to be released at 1:30 GMT on Wednesday. Lots of volatility can be expected.
