**AUD/USD Dives to Fresh Lows on Fed Hike Hopes: Market Anxiety Rises Ahead of U.S. Policy Decision**
AUD/USD slips to fresh July lows as markets brace for the US Federal Reserve policy decision. With the Fed expected to hold rates steady but maintain a “higher for longer” stance, US dollar strength is weighing on the pair. Australian data shows mixed signals—easing inflation but a softer labor market—while persistent RBA dovishness limits AUD support. Watch key technical levels near 0.6640; an extension lower could open the door to 0.6570. Fed communication and surprises in upcoming data remain critical catalysts for near-term direction.
