AUDUSD forecast: key trading points

Fundamental analysis
The AUDUSD rate is rising to 0.6692 on Thursday.
The pair has retreated from multi-week lows and is currently following the general upswing in global capital markets as risk appetite improves.
Yesterday’s US ambiguous inflation report did not impress investors. The focus is on the decision of the European Central Bank, which will meet today, and on the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting.
Additionally, market participants have lowered their expectations for the Reserve Bank of Australia’s future actions, with few now expecting the RBA to cut borrowing costs in November. This week, RBA Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter said that the employment market remains tight. At the same time, she noted that wage growth appeared to have passed its peak. Hunter believes the wage parameters will slow in the future, which will positively affect inflation.
The AUDUSD forecast does not rule out a local rise in the pair.
