As seen in the chart, the pair is trading within the range of MA (100) & MA (200) which acts as a crucial zone. Wait & watch strategy may be recommended for the day in AUD/USD.

US30 is trading at 35059, 0.12% up since previous day close. The slight retracement can be seen in U.S markets in early trade on Friday after global sentiments weakens on rising tech rout between U.S & China. Earlier, the US30 traded on positive note after U.S issued less weak CPI data; indicating the chances of less hawkish Fed monetary stance. The Chinese move of injecting liquidity into the financial system turned out to be supportive for US30. Ongoing geopolitical tension between Israel & Hamas remains vital for global indices. The soft U.S Jobless Claims data slightly subdued the markets. As seen in the weekly chart, an index is firmly trading above the major Moving Averages & hence, the corrective dips may be considered as a good buying opportunity.

WTI Oil is trading at $73.14, 0.19% down since previous day close. The Oil prices retreated with heavy trading volume after U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA) report showed a rise in Crude Oil inventory levels by 13.9 mbpd against the previous reading of 0.8 mbpd. This overshadowed the positive effect emerging out of weaker U.S CPI data which can restrict Fed’s hawkish stance in near future. The Saudi Arabia & Russia’s oil output cut plan & escalating tension between Hamas & Israel may remain vital for Oil prices. The U.S is to issue Bake Hughes report which will be closely monitored. Selling bias may be initiated for the day in WTI Oil as the commodity is trading below all the Moving Averages.
