AUD/USD: eyes 0.7220 and 200 dma

By FXStreet AUD/USD remains in positive territory above the 200 sma on the hourly chart down at 0.7164 and is trading above the pivot.

Yesterday, the Capex data was mixed, and the Aussie suffered on the back of the details, although the headline was better looking. The poor background details in the outlook for future investment in 2016/17 was to blame for the drop. Despite today’s positive durable goods outcome, the Aussie is resilient in a better risk mood as we head towards the end of this week.
