  • Broad USD weakness has helped AUD/USD recover lows of 0.7548 hit on Wednesday's trade.
     
  • Surprisingly weak Australian CPI numbers on Wednesday saw sharp slump in AUD/USD.
     
  • Strength in JPY on disappointment from BoJ which has kept the US dollar subdued has been the key trigger for the AUD/USD recovery.
     
  • Gains are not sustainable, we see potential for drag in the pair to further lows.
     
  • Markets now focus on Australia’s very own ‘Super Tuesday’ (May3rd) when RBA will meet to decide policy. Dissappointingly weak CPI data sees a very strong potential for a rate cut.
     
  • Technicals are biased lower, weakness back below 0.7600 mark might continue to find support at 0.7530 (rising trendline), if broken drag till 0.75 likely.
     
  • On the upside resistance is located at 0.7679 (5-DMA) ahead of 0.77 and then 0.7720 (10-DMA).
