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

During yesterday's trading the prices of AUD/USD dropped to 0.7925 after the reduction of demand for high risk assets due to the growing geopolitical tension. Today the pressure on the pair kept growing as investors reacted to the comments of Deputy Head of the Reserve Bank of Australia Michelle Bullock. She pointed out that high level of indebtedness made households vulnerable, and that RBA would take that into account when planning its monetary policy.

Today the main event connected with market movements will be the speech of the Fed's chairman Janet Yellen with the topic "Inflation, Uncertainty, and Monetary Policy". Any mention of the terms of yet another interest rate increase by the Fed may cause market volatility.
