- AUD/USD declined sharply on Tuesday as the Aussie was hit by dovish statement by Reserve Bank of Australia and weak commodities prices dragged the antipodean currency lower.
- Reserve Bank of Australia as expected kept its cash rate steady at record low 2.0percent after its monthly policy meeting earlier in the Asian session.
- The pair is set to remain under pressure as weakness in commodity prices is set to weigh on the currency pair in the short term
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 0.7595, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 0.7632.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 0.7518, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 0.7490.
