Comment

Always difficult to buy after such a strong rally, but the case against the USD continues to build with softening US data, political gridlock.

Iron ore prices continue to rise

RBA speakers coming on now.  They may try to talk the AUD down, but they may also be reluctant to get into a discussion on the rates and currency outlook, which may be viewed as damning by implication.

Employment data on Thursday may offer a reason to buy AUD, and I suspect demand will be there on the dip if it is weaker than forecast.
