Australian Dollar Is Flat Against U.S. Dollar

AUD/USD is testing the resistance at 0.7750 while the U.S. dollar is losing some ground against a broad basket of currencies.

The U.S. Dollar Index has recently made an attempt to settle below the support at the 91 level but failed to develop sufficient downside momentum. In case the U.S. Dollar Index declines below this level, it will move towards the support at 90.70 which will be bullish for AUD/USD.

There are no important economic reports scheduled to be released in Australia today so foreign exchange market traders will focus on the economic data from the U.S.

Initial Jobless Claims are projected to grow from 576,000 to 617,000 while Continuing Jobless Claims are expected to decline from 3.73 million to 3.67 million. Analysts expect that Existing Home Sales increased by 0.8% month-over-month in March.

Traders will also keep an eye on the developments in U.S. government bond markets. Treasury yields have recently made an attempt to settle below multi-week lows, and it looks that inflation fears have been substantially reduced. In case Treasury yields continue to move lower, U.S. dollar may find itself under additional pressure.
