USD to AUD Rates - 2026 Forecast

Analysis of recent dollar → aussie forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest US dollar to Australian dollar performance and trends.

 

USD/AUD Outlook:

The USD/AUD rate is currently below its recent average and near recent lows, indicating a bearish trend. The ongoing tariff uncertainties from the US are weighing on the USD, while the AUD is benefiting from supportive factors like rising commodity demand.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Federal Reserve's dovish monetary policy contrasts with the Reserve Bank of Australia's tightening stance, leading to weaker USD demand.

• Risk/commodities: Recent rises in commodity prices, particularly from increased demand due to China's economic recovery, support the Australian dollar.

• One macro factor: Australian consumer confidence has surged, which may boost the AUD's resilience amidst global uncertainties.

Range:

The USD/AUD rate is likely to drift within its recent 3-month range, reflecting limited upward momentum given the current pressures.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A shift in US economic data that shows unexpected strength could lift the USD.

• Downside risk: Further tariff escalations or geopolitical tensions that intensify could exacerbate USD weakness.
