AUD/USD holds below 0.7800

FXStreet (Córdoba) - AUD/USD came under renewed pressure during the American session after the latest recovery attempt stalled ahead of the 0.78 mark.

AUD/USD resumed the slide following a short-lived bounce, as the dollar strengthened slightly following the latest string of mixed US data. The pair has fallen to a low 0.7765, although the greenback failed to drag the price below European session low of 0.7755. At time of writing, AUD/USD is trading at 0.7767, down 0.58% on the day.

The Australian dollar remains under broad pressure ahead of the RBA meeting tomorrow amid speculation the bank could cut rates again.
