EUR/AUD turns to the downside after economic data from Australia

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The EUR/AUD tumbled from 1.5245 to 1.5165 in a few minutes following the release of economic data in Australia. Business confidence rose in January while the house price index climbed 3.4% above expectations during the fourth quarter.

The Aussie gained momentum across the board after the new numbers reaching fresh highs. The EUR/AUD recently bottomed at 1.5165, hitting the lowest price since last Friday.

End of correction?

Since last Thursday the EUR/AUD was moving with an upside bias recovering after falling constantly during the previous two weeks. The upside correction has proven to be short-lived as the pair approaches 1.5100. Below, the next key support is the area located between 1.5000 and 1.5025 where January and February lows lie.
