As per recent FX analyst forecasts and the 3-month price data, the outlook for USD to AUD in the upcoming months appears to be influenced by key drivers such as February's strong US Jobs Report, sluggish global GDP growth, China's improved economy, and the historic UBS-Credit Suisse deal. These factors have the potential to impact investor risk sentiment and FX markets in March.
Over the past three months, USD to AUD has been trading 2.3% above its average at 1.4975, with fluctuations ranging between 1.3984 and 1.5193. Factors such as demand for commodities, construction activities, and Chinese market developments can significantly impact the Australian dollar's value, as it serves as a major commodities exporter. Additionally, both AUD and NZD often move in the same direction due to geographical proximity and reliance on commodity markets.
Considering these factors, monitoring key economic indicators, and the impact of the ongoing global financial landscape, USD to AUD may experience notable fluctuations in the near term. It is essential for individuals and businesses dealing with international transactions to keep a close eye on these developments, and currency-pair trends, to make well-informed decisions.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting US dollar to Australian dollar:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Australian dollar with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/AUD exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.
It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.
To help with this you can add USD/AUD to your personalised BER Smart Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
Rather than requiring you to set a target rate, our FX Alerts work differently. Once you add a currency pair for tracking in your watchlist we can select to be notified daily for any UP▲ DOWN▼ HIGH▲ LOW▼ alerts over a range of periods over the recent 90 days.
