On November 11th, economists at ABN AMRO stated in a report that the politicization of US institutions and pressure on independent agencies under the Trump administration pose a risk to the dollars dominance as the global reserve currency. They pointed out that the decline of US institutions has continued rapidly since the beginning of the year, raising serious concerns about the reliability of the dollar reserve system. The White House is firing oversight agencies, prosecuting political opponents, dismantling regulation, and restructuring institutions in a deeply partisan manner. They stated that this raises questions about whether the US can continue to maintain its rule-abiding, diversified institutions and strong markets—factors that attract investment to the US and support the dollar.On November 11, a Turkish prosecutor called for a more than 2,000-year prison sentence for Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu in a corruption case, potentially barring President Erdogans strongest challenger from running in the next presidential election.

Charges include bribery and accepting bribes. Following the news, the Turkish stock market plummeted, with Istanbuls benchmark index falling 3.1% by the afternoon local time.

AUD/USD However, 0.6700 is the key to the upside

In the early hours of Tuesday morning in Asia, the AUD/USD receives bids near 0.6650 to recover recent losses. In doing so, the Aussie pair recovers from the lowest levels in two weeks while reversing course from the horizontal support that has been in place for 12 days around 0.6620.

 

Nonetheless, imminent bearish MACD signals and a stable RSI indicate that the AUD/USD pair will continue to decline.

 

The convergence of the 10-day moving average and the support-turned-resistance line from March 10, close to the round number 0.6700, may also threaten the most recent price recovery.

 

Even if the AUD/USD bulls are able to surpass 0.6700, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair's February-March decline, located around 0.6805, will serve as the final line of defense for the bears.

 

Alternately, a break below 0.6620 could initiate a new decline aiming for the Year-to-Date (YTD) low established in February around 0.6565.

 

Notably, the AUD/USD pair's decline beyond 0.6565 confronts multiple obstacles to the south, including the highs for October 2022 near 0.6545 and 0.6520.

 

After that, a decline to the November 2022 low of approximately 0.6275 cannot be ruled out.

 

Regardless of the recent corrective rally, the AUD/USD remains on the radar of skeptics.
