Key drivers include:

  • Economic forecasts point to positive growth for the AUD, backed by expectations that higher rates will outpace those of other major currencies.
  • The U.S. Federal Reserve is anticipated to cut rates further, which may weaken the USD and provide additional support for the AUD.

Upside risks could come from continued strong demand for Australian commodities as global markets stabilize. Conversely, increased geopolitical tensions or further unforeseen domestic issues could pose a downside risk, potentially leading to a depreciation of the AUD.
