AUD to EUR Outlook
In the near term, AUD/EUR is trading close to its 90-day average while holding near recent highs. The dominant driver is the rate differential, with EUR supported by risk-off flows and geopolitical tensions. Current conditions suggest the pair may remain under pressure if risk sentiment continues to favor safe-haven currencies.
