The selling pressure on the AUD intensified in the European morning, knocking-off AUD/USD to fresh session lows below 0.72 handle.

AUD/USD drops to 50-DMA


Currently, the AUD/USD pair trades -0.28% lower at fresh session lows of 0.7193, heading for a retest of Tuesday’s low struck at 0.7184. Having faced rejection at 20-DMA in mid-Asia, the Aussie keeps pushing lower and now surrenders 0.72 handle on the back of a renewed bout of risk-aversion after the European stocks turned negative following an upbeat start. The German DAX now loses -0.25% versus +0.30% previously while the UK’s FTSE dips -0.10 versus +0.40% in opening trades.

The Australian dollar also ran fresh supply against its American counterpart as attention now turns to the crucial jobs report from the OZ nation, with markets expecting a weaker labour market report. Markets are expected a sharp reversal in November after strong number reported in Oct.
