United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Quek Ser Leang notes that AUD/USD remains under mild pressure, with intraday bias tilted lower after a narrow range session. Any decline is expected to stay within 0.6865–0.6900, with a clear break below 0.6865 seen as unlikely. Over 1–3 weeks, a move above 0.6940 would negate downside targets, while the broader trend still points toward 0.6707.

Australian Dollar stays under mild pressure

"24-HOUR VIEW: Yesterday, we indicated that AUD “is likely to trade in a range between 0.6880 and 0.6920.” AUD then traded within a narrower range of 0.6878/0.6904, closing largely unchanged at 0.6886 (-0.06%). While the slight increase in downward momentum tilts the bias toward the downside today, any decline is likely to be contained within a 0.6865/0.6900 range. AUD is unlikely to break clearly below 0.6865."

"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: After holding a negative AUD view for more than a week, we highlighted the following yesterday (29 Jun, spot at 0.6895): “Downward momentum is starting to ease. A break above 0.6940 (‘strong resistance’ was at 0.6950 last Friday) would indicate that 0.6835 is out of reach.” We continue to hold the same view for now."
