Today, after the publication of positive data on the Producer Price Index in Australia, the pair rose but did not manage to consolidate above a strong resistance at 0.7600 and resumed its fall.

Today extra attention needs to be paid to data on the US GDP for the third quarter of the year. According to the forecasts of economists, on a year-to-year basis the index will show a 2.5% growth. At the same time, weak data might significantly pressure the US Dollar.
