Currency Forecasts

Australian dollar

At the end of October the AUD surged to a three month high against the US dollar following the third rate cut in a year by the US Federal Reserve. The gains were mainly due to the fall in the US dollar after the market sensed that US rates are more likely to rise now than fall further.

The RBA also added to the positive sentiment with an optimistic assessment of easing risks from the US-China trade war and Brexit. Accordingly markets are pulling back from bets that the cash rate will drop to 0.5 per cent and the possible start of quantitative easing.

Interestingly, AUD has decoupled from commodity prices in 2019. The price of iron ore (Australia’s largest export) nears multi-year highs while AUD languishes.

Further RBA interest rate cuts this year are now a certainty, and that doesn’t bode well for currency valuations. Westpac has predicted three cuts this year.

14-DAY LOWS 🔔

At 0.6837 AUD/USD is trading 0.5% above its 90 day average with range 0.6704 to 0.6919. ALERT: AUD/USD has dropped to 14-DAY LOWS. Updated: 08:01-AEDT 21:01-GMT 16:01-EST
