AUD approaches the strong resistance at 0.7185. What may happen next?
Fundamental overview

As a result, the Australian dollar surged. Moreover, vaccine hopes and decreasing new virus cases improved the market sentiment and underpinned the risky aussie. Do you know that Australia is the second largest producer of gold after China? Last year Australia produced the record amount of yellow metal. Therefore, if the USD gets weaker and the gold price rises further, the AUD may become the best performer on the Forex market.
