AUD/USD indifferent after Oz data

The pair practically ignored the improvement from the New Home Sales gauged by HIA, expanding 6.4% inter-month during September. The AUD slipped back towards 0.9460 overnight where buying interest turned up and is now lifting the pair to the vicinity of 0.9500 the figure. There are no further data in Australia, with the FOMC meeting floating as the main event ahead in the day. Analysts at UBS remain neutral on the pair, arguing “The pair is under selling pressure, with strong support 0.9410. A close below this would be negative, exposing 0.9281. Resistance is at 0.9623 ahead of 0.9758”.
