Fundamental Overview:
Downbeat Australia monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) data along with the risk-off mood weigh on the antipodean.
According to Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the monthly CPI eased in August to 6.8% from 7.0% in July.
A pickup in the US Treasury bond yields, bolstered by faster Fed rate hikes bets, acts as a tailwind for the greenback, dragging the pair lower.
The risk-off impulse amid growing worries about a deeper global economic downturn also underpins the safe-haven buck.
Focus now on the release of the final Q2 GDP report and the usual Weekly Initial Jobless Claims data for impetus.
