FOREX: Antipodean Wrap - NZD Leading The Correction Lower

After opening very heavy and making new lows to 0.5915 the AUD has bounced back to 0.6000 as the USD gives back some of its overnight gains. This is striking as US treasuries yields continue to tear higher touching 4.37% in Asia.

• The Asian range has been 0.5915 - 0.6002. 
• Very interesting price action today with risk under pressure and US yields higher. Amazingly the AUD has had a decent bounce and is struggling to maintain a foothold sub 0.6000. 
• 650m 0.5975 expiring today
• The AUD has been trading poorly across the board in recent days reflecting the markets negative sentiment, the price action today though seems to imply someone is taking advantage of cheap levels and taking some off the table.
• While global markets remain under pressure the AUD will find supply on bounces, expect levels around 0.6100/0.6200 to find resistance.
