FXStreet (Mumbai) - The offered tone in the AUD/USD pair remains intact in the mid-Asian trades, having found strong support at 0.71 barrier, as the demand for higher yielding currencies wanes on the back of risk-off sentiment, triggered by Paris terror-strike.

Currently, the AUD/USD pair trades -0.21% lower at 0.7115, consolidating in a 20-pips slim range. The Aussie faced stiff resistance near hourly 50-SMA placed at 0.7127 and drifted lower, only to find fresh bids at 0.7100 and rebounded higher towards 0.7115-20 region, where it now wavers.
The AUD/USD pair remains supressed amid waning appetite for risker currencies, following weekend’s terror attack on Paris, in which around 130 people were killed. However, recovery in gold prices above 1190 mark on the back rising demand for safe-haven assets, keeps the downside restricted in the resource-linked Aussie.
Further, traders continue to cheer last week’s upbeat Australian jobs data, which reduced RBA rate cut bets at its Dec 1 meeting. Meanwhile, focus now shifts towards Tuesday’s RBA minutes Wednesday’s Aus wage price index for further cues on the pair.
