FxWirePro: AUD/USD slips lower, Aussie under pressure after record slump in Australia's Q2 GDP

AUD/USD chart - Trading View 

AUD/USD slips lower for the 2nd straight session, trades range bound in the Asian session.

The Australian dollar under pressure across the board after Australia reported a bigger-than-expected second-quarter economic contraction.

Data released earlier today showed Australia's economy contracted by 6.3% y/y in Q2 versus a forecast for a 5.35 contraction and down from the preceding quarter's growth rate of 1.3%.

The Australian economy shows its deepest slump since the Great Depression. AUD/USD nurses losses around 0.7355 on dismal Q2 GDP release.  

US dollar recovery, on the back of strong ISM Manufacturing PMI, continues to weigh on the pair. 

A potential Doji on the weekly charts shows signs of exhaustion. 5-DMA support is holding at 0.7345. 

Break below 5-DMA could see dip till 21-EMA at 0.7232. Violation at 21-EMA could see more profound weakness.
