AUD/USD Price Action Amid Inflation Expectations
The AUD/USD, often nicknamed the “Aussie,” is a major currency pair representing the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the U.S. dollar. This pair is highly sensitive to economic events from both Australia and the United States. Today, AUD/USD traders are focused on several key events, including a speech by RBA Governor Michele Bullock, which may offer insights into the central bank’s stance on interest rates. Additionally, consumer inflation expectations from the Melbourne Institute could influence market sentiment, especially if they signal rising inflation, which might prompt a more hawkish policy stance. In the U.S., key data releases, including the Producer Price Index (PPI) and multiple speeches from Federal Reserve officials, will shape expectations for future U.S. interest rates. A more hawkish tone from either side could provide upward momentum for the Aussie, while stronger U.S. data may weigh it down.
