FxWirePro: AUD/USD edges higher ahead of RBA meeting minutes

• AUD/USD edged higher on Monday as investors awaited the RBA’s December meeting minutes for clearer policy guidance.

• Attention turns to the RBA’s December monetary policy meeting minutes, due at 00:30 GMT on Tuesday, which may offer clearer insight into the central bank’s inflation outlook and rate bias.

• U.S. macro data will be in focus this week, including Q3 GDP, October durable goods orders, and November industrial production, all of which could influence near-term USD direction.

• AUD/USD has risen 7% this year, ending four straight years of losses, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar and expectations the RBA may resume rate hikes next year.

• Immediate resistance is located at 0.6662(Dec 16th high), any close above will push the pair towards 0.6685(23.6%fib).

• Support is seen at 0.6597 (38.2%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 0.6554(Dec 3rd low).

 Recommendation: Good to buy  around 0.6620, with stop loss of 0.6550 and target price of 0.6700
