AUSSIE: ANZ note that "for much of the past two decades, the price of iron ore
has supplied an important signal for the direction of the AUD. Both because it
is Australia's single largest export and important source of national income,
but also for what it says about the broader growth environment. In recent years
this signal has been fading. The channels that transfer resource prices through
the economy and rates structure have weakened. On top of this, supply
disruptions have clouded the link between iron prices and underlying industrial
demand. With iron ore prices above USD100/t, many suggest the AUD could be
higher. We think this is simplistic and doesn't account for a fundamentally
weaker relationship since 2017."
