The USD has generally been in positive mode in July, rallying against the Dollar bloc (Canadian, Australian and New Zealand Dollars), a corrective rebound versus the Great Britain Pound (GBPUSD lower), but still indecisive against the Euro and losing ground to the Japanese Yen (which has benefited from a safe haven bid).
This activity points to a mixed tone for the US currency into mid-July.
USDCAD
- A firm rally from June leaves bias higher into mid-July, through the 2015 peak at 1.2835.
- Above here sees risk to the psychological/ option target at 1.3000 and multi-year peak at 1.3064.

AUDUSD
- A modest since the FOMC and Australian Employment data on Wednesday/ Thursday.
- However, the break to a new 2015 low maintains a downside risk to the .7269 target for July.
- The overshoot threat is to .7091 and .7000 targets.
