AUD/USD holds above 0.7100

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The Australian dollar failed to hold at 2-week highs against the greenback and pulled back following RBA minutes release during the Asian session.

AUD/USD
snapped a 3-day winning streak as it retreated from a peak of 0.7165. However, with the downside contained by the 0.7100 area, the pair was confined to a phase of consolidation as investors gear up for the Federal Reserve decision on Thursday.

At time of writing, AUD/USD is trading at 0.7117, recording a 0.25% loss on the day, with the latest string of US data having virtually no impact on the pair.
