However, Hong Kong cutting inbound Quarantine to 3-days lifted the risk-sensitive AUD. The pair bounced off near-term support at the 0.69000 psychological level and upside gains are capped by the 0.7000 level. Investors shift their focus to Australia’s Consumer sentiment data early Tuesday morning and Wednesday US Inflation print.
