The RBA adds pressure to the aussie
AUD / USD resumed its downtrend in early trading on Tuesday and extended its decline from the highs of 0.7240 last week to the October lows of 0.7020 following dovish meeting minutes released by the Reserve Bank of Australia.
The Bank has confirmed the discussion on cutting rates further and buying longer-term debt to support the economy and avoid a strong AUD at the October meeting. This paves the way for further monetary tightening in December, as many market analysts had already anticipated.

On the upside, the pair should regain the 100-day SMA at 0.71000 to regain the bullish momentum and extend towards 0.7200 (50-day SMA) and 0.7240 (October 9 high).
