For the 24 hours to 23:00 GMT, the AUD weakened 0.49% against the USD to close at 0.7335.

LME Copper prices declined 3.02% or $155.5/MT to $5000.5/MT. Aluminium prices declined 0.55% or $8.5/MT to $1532.0/MT.

In the Asian session, at GMT0300, the pair is trading at 0.7335, with the AUD trading marginally lower from yesterday’s close, after Australia’s Westpac leading index remained flat in July, vs. a similar reading in June.

The pair is expected to find support at 0.7308, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 0.7282. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 0.7373, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 0.7411.

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