AUD/USD remains pressured near 0.6790 ahead of the key Aussie data. The risk-barometer pair’s latest weakness could be linked to the market’s fears of more rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve (Fed), even if the US central bank paused the rate hike trajectory the previous day. Also challenging the Aussie pair is the receding hawkish bias about the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), especially after the latest rounds of mixed Aussie data about inflation, employment and business sentiment.
That said, today’s Australian employment report for May is less likely to work as a positive catalyst for the AUD/USD unless posting an extremely upbeat outcome. The reason could be linked to the market’s favor for the US Dollar hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) commentary. However, a knee-jerk reaction to the top-tier statistic can’t be ruled out.
Technically, a failure to provide a daily closing beyond May’s high of 0.6818 joins nearly overbought RSI (14) to challenge AUD/USD buyers.

About the Employment Change
The Employment Change released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics is a measure of the change in the number of employed people in Australia. Generally speaking, a rise in this indicator has positive implications for consumer spending which stimulates economic growth. Therefore, a high reading is seen as positive (or bullish) for the AUD, while a low reading is seen as negative (or bearish)
