AUSSIE: Westpac note that "the revival in global equities has been a key
contributor to AUD's rebound to above $0.6700, with the positive correlation
with risk appetite firmly intact. The Aussie's support is broader than equities
however, with iron ore above $100/tonne on both supply and demand trends,
helping Australia maintain a current account surplus for a full year.
Australia's outperformance on Covid-19 containment also raises the prospect of a
sharper domestic economic rebound which keeps the RBA comfortable with current
policy settings. Our end-Sep forecast though is $0.6600, with the reality of a
tepid global economy in H220 and woeful earnings reports likely to keep a lid on
the global investor mood."
