BulletMarketsForeign Exchange NewsHomepage

AUDUSD has stabilised after falling 2.2% on Tuesday due to the RBA becoming less hawkish and the Fed more so. It is up 0.1% in APAC trading to around 0.6588 after a low of 0.6581 on Tuesday, despite RBA Governor Lowe talking today of a data-dependent pause. The USD index is +0.1% after rising a percent yesterday.

  • RBA Lowe spoke today and said that the RBA is operating in a very “data dependent world” but inflation remains too high and rates need to rise. See Policy Restrictive So Closer To Pause, But In "Data Dependent World".
  • Equity markets are generally weaker following on from the US. The ASX is down 1% and the Hang Seng -2.4% but the Nikkei is up 0.4%. S&P e-minis are flat. WTI oil prices are trading sideways at around $77.55/bbl after slumping 4% on Powell’s comments. But copper is up 0.2% but iron ore down 0.1% to just under $127/t.
