"Markets are finally becoming aware of the potential negative effect of Trump's policies on the US dollar - at the beginning we had lots of positive sentiment but now we see that the focus is shifting more towards potential trade disputes and potential difficulties in Trump implementing his policies."  
– UBS (based on Business Recorder) 


Pair's Outlook 
The Aussie managed to almost completely erase Wednesday's losses yesterday, as the ascending channel's support line provided sufficient impetus for a rally. The AUD/USD currency pair appears to be struggling to climb over the weekly R1 this week, located at 0.7584, thus, risks of another leg down are present today. As a result, the pair could breach the channel's lower boundary and drop back under 0.75 mark if the American Dollar receives a boost today. From a technical perspective, the Australian currency should strengthen against the Buck and preserve the pattern. Technical indicators are also in favour of the positive outcome. 

Traders' Sentiment 
Today 61% of all open positions are short, compared to 60% previously. Pending orders are still equally divided between buy and sell ones.
