US Industrial Production
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve is due to release the industrial production report of the United States today during the early New York session. According to the median projection of different economists, industrial production in the US remained 0.1% in April as compared to -0.6% in the month before. Generally speaking, a higher industrial production figure is considered positive for the economy thus a better than expected actual outcome will be seen as bearish for AUDUSD and vice versa.
Trade Idea
Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, selling the pair around current levels appears to be a good strategy as we got a bearish pin bar yesterday. The trade should, however, be stopped out if we get a daily closing above yesterday’s high. It is always recommended to use proper risk & reward ratio to optimize your profitability.
