Overview: The Aussie is retreating from its three-week highs printed at 0.7710 as traders are performing profit-taking actions after yesterday’s strong rally. Yesterday OPEC made an agreement about first output cut in eight years thereby lifting all resource-linked currencies such as Australian dollar. However, the pair has lost its upside momentum giving away part of post-OPEC gains after three consecutive north directed sessions as traders are taking some profits off table sending the pair back under 0.7700 resistance level.

Yesterday OPEC members on its meeting made a deal of oil output levels cut causing to appear strong risk appetite across the market thereby sending the pair to refresh its weekly highs near the 101.50 region. However, seems that risk associated bulls has took a breath in early Europe giving a chance to the yen to recover some pips. Furthermore, the pair will continue to trace global markets sentiments as interest to risky assets is still on.

Moreover, today the pair will stay firmer as broadly based dollar’s weakness also is supporting the pair.
