The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar against a basket of currencies, reverses sharply on Friday after hitting a near one-month high of 100.86 earlier in the day.
The EUR/JPY pair is trading lower on Friday, weighed down by renewed US–China trade tensions, mixed economic data out of Japan, and cautious investor positioning ahead of a scheduled speech by European Central Bank (ECB) Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel.
Australian Dollar (AUD) could drop below 0.6370 against the US Dollar (USD) but might not be able to maintain a foothold below this level. In the longer run, AUD must break and hold below 0.6370 before a move to 0.6330 can be expected, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.
