It failed to hold on top of 0.7400 and pulled back. The retreat found support at 0.7370/75 and during the last hours it has been moving in a range between 0.7390 and 0.7370, near the same level it closed on Tuesday.

Price action remained limited all day on the back of the US holiday. On a wider perspective, the dominant trends point to the downside. In the short-term AUD/USD is consolidating, still, near the 1-year low, it reached on Monday at 0.7309. If it manages to hold above the 0.7330 area, the bearish pressure would remain limited.
