AUD/USD Fundamental Analysis March 23, 2012 Forecast
Analysis and Recommendation: (close of Asian session)
AUD/USD continues its downward spiral set off over worries on the Chinese slowdown. The Aussie opened this morning at 1.0458 and has tumbled to 1.0396 after hitting a low of 1.0377. There is little news expected over the course of the week to help put life back into the Aussie.
