BER ResearchAustralian dollar 2021 Overview
The spread of the Delta variant in Australia plus the Evergrande property debt crisis in China has forced down commodity prices particularly iron ore, further compounding AUD losses.
In 2021 forecasters have changed direction several times on the Australian dollar saying it could fall below US70¢ or hit US82¢, which leads one to suspect that basically no one has any idea! AUD-USD Forecasts
Until the recent Fed Reserve pivot, the Australian dollar had benefited from the US dollar sell-off since late last year as investors moved away from the safe haven of the USD and into riskier assets. This was off the back of Biden winning the presidential election and the positive news of COVID-19 vaccine testing.
The Aussie had risen so far as to touch US80¢ briefly on Feb 25th before changing course abruptly during March — due to a surge in US treasury yields — to be trading down at Easter at around US76¢ to the greenback.
Before this ‘reflationary’ news the Australian Dollar had been rising due to a combination of rising Australian government bond yields and commodity prices racing ahead, these factors are two prime drivers of Aussie Dollar demand.
Last year, 2020 the year of COVID, saw solid gains for the AUD against the majority of currencies however forecasts were almost entirely driven by the effects and response to the Coronavirus pandemic rather than any fundamentals of the Australian economy.
However as we progress through 2021, the Aussie dollar is being buffeted by predictions of rising interest rates and inflation as the world starts the slow path to recovery from the pandemic.
The Australian dollar enjoyed a sharp uptick in mid-April, advancing above US77c and then US78c in May – its highest levels since the late February highs that saw the Aussie dollar nudging US80c.
