AUD/USD surpasses 0.7600 as US Dollar falls due to weak US data

The AUD/USD pair is trading positively for the third consecutive day around 0.6715 in the early European session on Thursday. The strength of the Australian Dollar is supported by the upbeat economic data, particularly Retail Sales growth in May, which has increased speculation about a potential rate hike by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). Additionally, the slight improvement in Judo Bank’s Australia Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) in June has also contributed to the rise of the Aussie. On the other hand, weaker-than-expected US economic data, such as the decline in the Services PMI for June, continues to weigh on the US Dollar (USD).

Despite the positive momentum for the AUD, the cautious stance from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials could limit any further downside for the USD. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee mentioned that achieving a 2% inflation target will take time, indicating that there is still uncertainty surrounding the US economy. The minutes from the FOMC June meeting also showed that Fed officials are taking a data-dependent approach to monetary policy decisions. While financial markets are currently pricing in a 66% chance of a 25 basis points Fed rate cut in September, the lack of confidence among Fed officials to cut interest rates suggests a potential strengthening of the USD.

One of the main drivers of the Australian Dollar is the level of interest rates set by the RBA, along with factors such as the price of Iron Ore, the health of the Chinese economy, inflation rate in Australia, growth rate, and Trade Balance. Additionally, market sentiment plays a crucial role, with risk-on environments generally positive for the AUD. The RBA influences the AUD by adjusting interest rates, with higher rates supporting the currency and lower rates having a negative impact. The strong economic ties between Australia and China mean that the health of the Chinese economy can directly impact the value of the AUD.

As Australia’s largest export, the price of Iron Ore can also influence the Australian Dollar, with higher prices typically leading to a stronger AUD due to increased demand for the currency. A positive trade balance, which reflects the surplus between a country’s exports and imports, can also strengthen the AUD. If Australia has highly sought-after exports, foreign buyers seeking to purchase these goods can drive up demand for the currency. Conversely, a negative trade balance can have a negative impact on the value of the Australian Dollar. Overall, various economic indicators and external factors play a significant role in determining the value of the AUD in the foreign exchange market.
