Key Quotes
"Strong support should lie around 0.9200/20 on the week, with chartists looking for 0.9330/40. We remain neutral AUD/USD on the week though, with the pair likely to be capped by Australia’s own March employment data, where we look for a well below consensus -20k headline."
"Short-covering has been largely exhausted, at least judging by IMM data. In the background, commodities are roughly stable. AUD should however find underlying support vs the likes of EUR, NZD and JPY."
