AUD/USD vulnerable below 0.9300
FXStreet (Córdoba) - The Australian dollar is trading back below 0.9300 Wednesday, weighed by falling stocks and a more cautious mood.
The AUD/USD came under pressure yesterday after the latest upside attempt was capped by the 100-day SMA at the 0.9345 area and as solid US data gave the greenback a boost. The Aussie extended the slide toward a 1-week low of 0.9277 before finding support and recovering slightly.
