AUD/USD oscillates in a range below two-week top as traders await Chinese data
AUD/USD holds steady below a two-week high touched the previous day and consolidates near mid-0.6300s on Wednesday as traders await Chinese macro data before placing fresh directional bets. The RBA's cautious signal on further interest rate cuts, hopes for more stimulus from China and Trump's temporary tariff reprieve act as a tailwind for the Aussie.

USD/JPY drifts lower following the previous day's modest uptick and remains close to a multi-month low touched last week. Tariff-driven uncertainty continued to weigh on investors' sentiment.
