FX reaction

It’s worth noting that the bill is yet to reach the Senate, not to talk about being it a law, which makes the macro a little less worrisome issue amid the Fed fears and Russia-linked geopolitical tension.

As a result, the risk barometer AUD/USD pays a little heed to the news and takes rounds to 0.7150 by the press time.
