FxWirePro: AUD/USD slumps as Trump's travel ban on Europe stokes global growth fears 

  • The Australian dollar declined, extending losses for the fourth straight session, as risk sentiment weakened after President Donald Trump disappointed markets with a coronavirus plan light on details.
     
  • On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the United States will suspend all travel from Europe as he unveiled measures to contain the coronavirus epidemic. 
     
  • However, his address from the Oval Office was light on medical measures beyond assurances that the virus has no chance against us.
     
  • The Aussie was trading 0.7 percent down at 0.6438, having hit a low of 0.6314 on Monday, it’s lowest since March 2009. 
     
  • Technical indicators are bearish: RSI weak at 29, Stochs are biased lower and MACD supports downside.
     
  • Immediate resistance is located at 0.6497, a break above could take it near 0.6535.
     
  • On the downside, support is seen at 0.6427, a break below could drag it till 0.6412.
     

Recommendation: Good to sell on rallies around 0.6480, with stop loss of 0.6497, and target price of 0.6427.
