Comment:
The Australian dollar is looking vulnerable as it tests key support against the US dollar, a break below which could lead to further losses in the near term. AUD has been hurt by a mix of factors recently: a setback in risk sentiment amid the lack of meaningful progress in Washington over raising the debt limit, a trimming back of rate cut expectations after hawkish speak from US Federal Reserve officials, and underwhelming Australia data (jobs data being the most recent).
