AUD/USD: a big week ahead, can bulls carry on?
AUD/USD has staged an impressive recovery since the open of 2016 where the major commodity currency plummeted to 0.6834 lows from 0.7301 highs at the start of January.
We have now exceeded that level with 0.7583 reached at the end of last week in the aftermath of the ECB and a recovery in stocks, oil and metal prices.
