FX:AUDUSD   Australian Dollar / U.S. Dollar
Current trend

The AUD/USD pair strengthened due to the start of US-China trade war and weak June US employment market data.

Last Friday, negative statistics on the US labor market were published. The rise in the unemployment rate by 0.2% in June and the sudden slowdown in the growth of the average hourly wage raise doubts about Fed's "hawkish" plans. However, the market continues to ignore negative macroeconomic statistics from Australia, focusing on the United States.

Today, there is a lack of significant macroeconomic releases in both counties, so market participants will focus on the trade conflict between China, the EU and the United States.
