The Australian dollar is the best performing G10 currency today as rising copper prices seem to support the resources-linked currencies amid subdued USD demand. AUDUSD bounced off the lowest level since January 6 touched on Friday and returned above 0.6900 level, however hawkish FED and simmering tensions between US and China may limit the upside movement. Currently the pair is approaching local resistance at 0.6925, which is marked with previous price reactions, 50% Fibonacci retracement of the last upward wave and 50 SMA (green line). Break higher would pave a way towards the next resistance at 0.6980, however if sellers manage to regain control and halt advances, then another downward impulse towards support at 0.6870 may be launched. Aussie may experience increased volatility in the evening and the coming Asian session, during the releases of flash PMI for February and RBA minutes.
