On January 18, according to the U.S. Capitol Hill newspaper, before Mondays inauguration, U.S. President-elect Trump "won a battle" because the Capitol will raise the American flag to its highest level instead of lowering it to half-mast on the day of the inauguration. Trump had previously been angry about the idea of lowering the flag to half-mast in memory of former President Carter. Carter died on December 29, and Biden announced that he would lower the flag to half-mast for 30 days. It was U.S. House Speaker Johnson who came to the rescue and dispelled concerns that Trumps second term would start with a "half-mast mourning" scene. Earlier this week, Johnson wrote on social media that next Monday, "the flags at the Capitol will fly at full flag to celebrate our countrys unity after the inauguration of the 47th President Donald Trump." Johnson pointed out that the flag would be lowered to half-mast again the day after the inauguration to commemorate Carter.According to the Ukrainian Pravda: The battlefield analysis agency DeepState said that the Russian army has made progress in several settlements in Kharkiv and Donetsk.According to the Ukrainian National News Agency: Poland plans to send a defense industry delegation to visit Ukraine.According to the Jerusalem Post: A Hamas official claimed that mediators involved in the hostage and ceasefire negotiations included a clause allowing Israel to resume military operations in Gaza if Hamas violates the agreement.Russian Ministry of Defense: Russian air defense system shot down 46 drones in Russia at night.

AUD/USD Price Prediction: 0.6770 aims to recapture last week's high

During the Asian session, the AUD/USD pair broke above the thin consolidation around 0.6720. As market risk appetite rises, the Australian asset has surged over 0.6750 and is expected to reclaim the previous week's high around 0.6770.

 

In the meantime, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is experiencing firm resistance near the key level of 104.00, as a decrease in the United States Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE)-Price Index has boosted expectations of less-hawkish monetary policy in the near future from the Federal Reserve (Fed).

 

Thursday's responsive buying activity in the Australian dollar at 0.6660 pushed the asset above the 50-period and 200-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at 0.6703 and 0.6717 respectively. After surpassing the previous week's peak of approximately 0.6770, the Australian Dollar will see significant increases.

 

In addition, the Relative Strength Index (14) has moved into the positive zone between 60.00 and 80.00, indicating the emergence of bullish momentum.

 

The Australian dollar will face round-level resistance and the high from December 14 around 0.6800 and 0.6880, respectively, after surpassing the previous week's high at 0.6770.

 

In contrast, a loss below the December 12 low of about 0.6630 will drive the asset towards the round-level resistance at 0.6600, followed by the November 8 high of about 0.6550.
