• Heavy selling in the Asian equities weigh on the investors’ appetite for risky/ higher-yielding currencies such as the Aussie, hence upside looks limited.

• The pair finds strong support at 0.9446 (21-DMA) and then trendline at 0.9430.  
• Weakness only on break below 0.9430, pair could then see test of 0.9360 levels. 
• Resistance on the upside seen at 0.9496 (23.6% Fib) and then 0.9527 (June 1st highs). 
• Focus remains the US ADP jobs data and EIA crude supplies, which will provide fresh momentum going forward.
