AUD/USD Breaks Above Key Support Amid Dollar Weakness
The AUD/USD pair has shown signs of recovery, breaking above key support at around 0.7115.
This comes after a broad-based US dollar weakness, which was fueled by coordinated intervention from Asian foreign exchange authorities, softer-than-expected US economic data, and a surge in risk appetite following strong earnings reports from Microsoft and Amazon.
The Australian and New Zealand dollars' gains were the largest drivers of the move, with the AUD/USD rising as the USD weakened.
