AUD/USD trades flat on the day

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The AUD/USD has entered a consolidation phase after failing to decisively break above the 0.9000 level on Friday.

The pair found support at the 0.8935 zone and settled in a range during the last hours to currently trade at the 0.8950 zone, virtually unchanged since opening.
