EUR/AUD is trading near the 90-day average within a stable range, supported by risk-on demand. Conditions may remain supported in the near term, as risk sentiment stays positive and the pair consolidates within its recent range.

🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The ECB’s cautious stance and yield gap support the Euro, while the RBA’s hawkish bias bolsters the AUD.
- Risk/commodities: Risk-on sentiment and AUD’s carry trade support underpin the pair.
- Global factors: Geopolitical tensions and safe-haven demand for the Euro remain prominent influences.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A sustained shift to risk appetite could push EUR/AUD higher, strengthening the Euro.
- Downside risk: Rising geopolitical tensions or fresh risk-off episodes could weaken the Euro against the AUD.
BER suggests comparing FX providers to find lower margins, which may help offset less favourable exchange conditions.
