Key Takeaways 

• Powell hawkish speech: At 4:00 GMT+8 on Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell participated in a discussion at the Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce. This was Powell’s first public speech after the press conference after the meeting on November 7. Powell said that the economy did not show that the Fed needed to rush to cut interest rates. The hawkish speech led the US dollar index to continue to move out of the short squeeze. 

• US retail sales: The United States will release October retail sales data today. Previously, the US retail sales data in September surged beyond expectations, increasing the possibility of the US economy “not landing” and hitting expectations of interest rate cuts. After Trump’s victory, the rise in price levels is foreseeable. If the October data continues to show that the economy is hot, it will greatly suppress the probability of a rate cut in December, and there is a possibility of a surge in the US dollar on Friday.

• Stochastic oscillator: During the US trading session yesterday, the exchange rate further hit a new low, but the indicator did not enter the oversold area. It suggests that the short-term adjustment time of the AUD/USD may be insufficient. During the Asian session today, there is a probability that the exchange rate will fluctuate sideways or even reverse. 

• Resistance price: Based on the possibility of rebound during the Asian session, the exchange rate should focus on the opening price of the order block near 0.64680, which is also near the red 33-period MA. If the exchange rate rebounds above this price during the day, the Australian dollar may clearly reverse its trend today.
