The AUD/USD pair struggles to capitalize on its intraday bounce from the 0.6435-0.6430 area, or its lowest level since August 5 touched earlier this Tuesday and keeps the red through the first half of the European session. Spot prices currently trade around the 0.6480 region, down for the second straight day, and seem vulnerable amid renewed US-China trade war fears.
US President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on all products coming into the US from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% tariff on all Chinese imports. This, in turn, tempers investors' appetite for riskier assets and turns out to be a key factor undermining the China-proxy Australian Dollar (AUD), which, so far, has failed to benefit from the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) hawkish stance. Apart from this, the emergence of some US Dollar (USD) buying adds credence to the near-term negative outlook for the AUD/USD pair.
Scott Bessent's nomination as the US Treasury secretary did provide a temporary respite to US bond investors amid concerns that Trump's expansionary policies will reignite inflation and force the Federal Reserve (Fed) to cut interest rates slowly. This, in turn, triggers a fresh leg up in the US Treasury bond yields and assists the USD to attract fresh buyers following the overnight slide. Furthermore, geopolitical risks should offer support to the safe-haven Greenback and support prospects for a further depreciating move for the AUD/USD pair.
Traders, however, seem reluctant to place aggressive bets and opt to wait for the FOMC meeting minutes for cues about the future rate-cut path. Apart from this, Tuesday's economic docket also features the release of the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index, New Home Sales data and the Richmond Manufacturing Index. The data might influence the USD and provide some impetus to the AUD/USD pair. The focus will then shift to the Australian consumer inflation figures, due for release during the Asian session on Wednesday.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
