After a lot of important economic data in the beginning of week Wednesday will be calm. Of course it doesn’t mean that trading today will slow down. Investors wait for UK data which can have influence for the Pound.

Asian session was not really interesting – we just got to know Australian wage price index. It was a little weaker than expectation – 0.4% vs 0.5%. We should not connect AUDUSD reaction with this report, pair just reached upper bound of the consolidation from last few days and bears were activated next to 0.7570. Currently pair is after test of lower bound of consolidation at 0.7523 and is raising again.
