The AUD/USD pair is trading around 0.6605 in the early Asian session on Monday, with investors keeping an eye on upcoming US economic data, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Producer Price Index (PPI), and Retail Sales for potential market-moving events. Federal Reserve officials have reiterated their commitment to a protracted policy of higher interest rates to achieve inflation targets, which has helped to support the US dollar against other currencies. The cautious approach from the Fed has provided some strength for the greenback, despite concerns about rising inflation.

The University of Michigan Survey showed a decline in consumer sentiment as inflation fears increased, with the Consumer Sentiment Index dropping to 67.4 in May from 77.2 in April. The one-year inflation outlook rose to 3.5%, while the five-year outlook increased to 3.1%, marking the highest levels since November 2023. This data suggests that consumers are growing increasingly concerned about rising prices and the potential impact on their purchasing power. In light of these developments, investors are likely to pay close attention to how the Fed responds to the inflationary pressures in the coming months.

On the Australian front, the government’s Treasury department stated that inflation could moderate to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s target range by the end of 2024, which is earlier than previously predicted in December. The officials previously projected CPI inflation to slow to 3.75% by mid-2024 and 2.75% by mid-2025, bringing it back within the RBA’s target band. This outlook reflects the government’s confidence in the Australian economy’s ability to navigate through the challenges posed by the global economic landscape and achieve stable inflation growth in the medium term.

Overall, the AUD/USD pair is likely to continue trading with a slight positive bias in the near term, as investors assess the impact of upcoming US economic data releases on the currency pair. The Fed’s commitment to a prolonged restrictive policy stance and the University of Michigan Survey’s findings on consumer sentiment are key factors driving market sentiment at the moment. With inflation concerns on the rise, investors will be closely following how central banks, including the Fed and the RBA, adjust their policy measures to maintain price stability and support economic growth in their respective countries. As the global economic environment remains uncertain, traders will need to remain vigilant and adaptable to navigate the shifting market dynamics in the weeks ahead.
