On Monday (July 11th) AUD/USD trading may be influenced by the following macroeconomic reports and other events as listed below.

Fundamentals

Australia

Home Lending

The number of loans granted for home purchases in Australia probably shrank 2.0% in May from a month ago, according to the median forecast by experts. If so, it would be the sharpest monthly decrease since January, when a revised up 4.4% drop was reported. In April home lending expanded at a monthly rate of 1.7%. This indicator reflects demand levels in Australias housing sector. The official report by the Australian Bureau of Statistics is expected at 1:30 GMT on Monday (July 11th).

United States

Feds George statement

At 14:00 GMT the Federal Reserve President for Kansas City, Esther George, is expected to take a statement. Any remarks or hints in regard to economic outlook, or the Banks monetary policy stance would heighten USD volatility.
