Forex: AUD/USD sideways trading at 1.0409/10

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The AUD/USD has continued its sideways trading Friday, in a heavily muted session given the Easter holidays. Having moved little off its opening, the cross is now incurring a marginal loss of -0.01%, settling at 1.0409/10 in these moments.

Briefing the technicals, the AUD/USD is slated to face calculated support at 1.0385, ahead of 1.0360, and finally 1.0324. Conversely, any recovery attempt and subsequent movement to the upside will encounter means of resistance at 1.0446, then 1.0482 and finally 1.0507, notes the Mataf.net technical analyst team.

“The AUD/USD is trading below the 1.0415, causing the extension of negativity, supported by a technical formation looking like the Rising Wedge. Moreover, the linear regression indicators performed a negative crossover, the thing that promotes negativity.” warns the ICN.com analyst team.

Forex Flash: Reiterating the ECB’s focus – Goldman Sachs

A benign inflation outlook and continued weakness of economic activity create a strong prima facie case for further monetary easing in the Euro area. According to the Economics Research Team at Goldman Sachs, “We continue to expect the ECB to keep its key policy rates on hold at the April Governing Council meeting next week.” The ECB has established a very easy monetary policy stance in the Euro area: market overnight rates are close to zero and the liquidity situation is ample. But, owing to impairments to monetary policy transmission stemming from the current fragmentation of European financial markets, this easy policy stance is not being passed through to the real economy in the periphery, where stimulus is most needed.
