AUD/USD falters ahead of 100-DMA

By FXStreet The Australian dollar managed to recoup most of yesterday’s losses versus the greenback, having benefited by gains in equity markets and better risk sentiment.

AUD/USD climbed more than half a cent throughout the day and reached a high of 0.7138 during the European session. However, the pair failed to extend its recovery past that level and it has spent the last hours in a slim range just below as investors attention turns to the FOMC minutes to be released later on the day.
