The unwinding of USD short positions is likely, meaning that major USD peers could struggle to gain ground especially the Euro, which is the largest contributor to USD shorts.

Still as the RBA Governor pointed towards additional stimulus at the upcoming monetary policy meeting, the Aussie could come under pressure versus ahead of the decision. NZD experienced a slight pick-up in buyers.
