Aussie fails to gain support despite rise in wages
Arslan Butt•Wednesday, August 15, 2018•1 min read
Good morning, traders.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the wage price index jumped from 0.5% to 0.6%. It’s a leading indicator of consumer inflation. When businesses pay more for labor the higher costs are usually passed on to the consumer. Despite the positive data, the AUD/USD failed to take a bullish turn. I must say, it’s all because of an aggressive buying in the USD.
AUD/USD – Weekly Chart
Technically, the AUD/USD is likely to test the double bottom support level of $0.7170. You can’t find this setup on the 4 hour or daily chart, but you need to zoom out to the weekly timeframe. Whereas, the immediate resistance can be found at 0.7257.
