USD to AUD Market Data
US dollar (USD) to Australian dollar (AUD) market data - latest interbank exchange rate, trend, chart & historic rates.
USD/AUD remains bearish-to-range-bound, below the 90-day avg and near the bottom of the 3-month range. Fed easing toward neutral vs RBA hikes narrows USD's edge; AUD tracks risk appetite and commodity demand. AU CPI and jobs data due this week could drive near-term moves.
Bias
Bearish-to-range-bound, USD/AUD sits below the 90-day average and in the lower half of the three-month range today. Recent price action has kept it near the bottom of the range.
Key drivers
• Rate gap: The Fed is expected to ease toward neutral in 2026, while the RBA hints at hikes, narrowing USD's edge vs the AUD over time.
• Risk/commodities: AUD trades with the risk mood and commodity demand; softer Chinese inflation weighs on AUD via export outlook for Australia.
• Macro: Upcoming AU CPI and jobs data could steer the near term; a strong print would lift the AUD in early 2026.
Range
Likely to drift toward the lower end of the three-month band, with occasional probes of the bottom as data flow through the week.
What could change it
• Upside risk: stronger US payrolls or a hawkish Fed tone lifting the dollar broadly.
• Downside risk: clearer RBA rate-hike guidance or improving China demand for Australian commodities boosting the AUD on signs of stabilization
