By John Noonan — May 08 - 11:45 PM
AUD/USD opened 0.7075 after falling 0.56% on Friday after US jobs data
E-mini futures gapped lower at the open and set the tone for the session
USD broadly firmed and commodity/risk currencies felt the brunt of it
AUD/USD traded down to 0.7005 before bids ahead of 0.7000 underpinned
There wasn't much of a bounce and it is trading 0.7020 early afternoon
Lon copper fell around 1.0% and Dalian iron ore is down around 5.5%
E-minis are over 1.0% lower and the AXJ index is down around 1.0%
The next support below 0.7000 in the 2022 low at 0.6967
Former support at 0.7030 is now minor resistance
A close above the 10-day MA at 0.7101 would ease the pressure
