Earlier this morning, data from China, Australia’s biggest trading partner showed that the Westpac-MNI consumer sentiment index in the nation rose to 114.8 in July from a reading of 112.6 reported a month ago.

The pair is expected to find support at 0.9366, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 0.9354. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 0.9398, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 0.9418.

Amid lack of economic releases today, investors would wait for a slew of data from Australia scheduled earlier tomorrow.

The currency pair is showing convergence with its 20 Hr moving average and is trading below its 50 Hr moving average.
