USD to AUD Market Data
US dollar (USD) to Australian dollar (AUD) market data - latest interbank exchange rate, trend, chart & historic rates.
Bias
bearish-to-range-bound; the pair sits below its 90-day average and in the lower half of the 3-month range.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: Fed easing later in 2026 while the RBA hints at tightening, narrowing the USD-AUD gap and keeping AUD supported, especially if global risk appetite holds.
- Macro factor: January AU CPI and jobs data could push AUD higher if figures surprise, with a firm inflation reading boosting expectations for tighter domestic policy.
- Risk/commodities: China’s softer inflation and weaker demand for Australian exports weigh on the AUD, with miners' prices sensitive to China trends.
Range
The pair is likely to drift in the lower half of its 3-month range, with a credible chance of testing the lower edge unless US data surprises.
What could change it
- Upside risk: stronger US data or a hawkish Fed stance lifting the dollar could push USD/AUD higher, especially if risk appetite cools.
- Downside risk: softer US data or clearer signals of Fed easing would reduce dollar demand and let AUD lead, narrowing the gap.
USD/AUD sits below its 90-day avg and in the lower half of its 3-month range. Bearish-to-range-bound bias as Fed eases later in 2026 while RBA hints tighter policy, keeping AUD supported. China softening and weaker demand could weigh the AUD
