Australian Dollar facing losses ahead with release of Fed, RBA meeting minutes, and NFP data

The Australian Dollar (AUD) mildly declined to 0.6660 against the US Dollar on Monday as market participants wait for the latest meeting minutes from both the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) for additional guidance. The US reported ISM PMIs on Monday with no surprises, leading to a lack of significant market movement.

The Australian economy is showing signs of weakness, but the RBA is hesitant to initiate rate cuts due to persistently high inflation. The delay in potential rate cuts by the RBA could further strengthen the Aussie. Labor market figures from June in the US are also awaited this week, which could affect the market sentiment.

Because of stubbornly high inflation figures in Australia, preventing the RBA from making rate cuts, the Australian Dollar saw a slight increase. The market predicts around a 40% chance of a 25-basis-point rate hike on the September 24 RBA meeting, increasing to 50% leading up to November 5. In addition, upcoming data such as May’s Retail Sales figures in Australia and Fed interest rate cut prospects in September will influence market movements.

From a technical perspective, the AUD/USD pair has been fluctuating within the range of 0.6600-0.6700 since mid-May. Traders are struggling to determine a clear direction, with the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.6640 acting as strong support. Resistance levels are at 0.6660, 0.6690, and 0.6700, while further support can be seen at 0.6620 and 0.6600.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) plays a crucial role in managing monetary policy by setting interest rates to maintain price stability, full employment, and economic prosperity for Australians. The RBA uses tools such as interest rate adjustments, quantitative easing, and quantitative tightening to achieve its objectives. Inflation, macroeconomic data, and QE/QT measures all impact the value of the Australian Dollar (AUD) in the foreign exchange market.

In modern times, moderately higher inflation tends to lead to central banks raising interest rates, attracting more capital inflows and increasing demand for the local currency. Macroeconomic indicators like GDP, PMIs, and employment figures can influence the value of the AUD. When the RBA implements quantitative easing, it usually results in a weaker AUD, while quantitative tightening can have a positive effect on the Australian Dollar during an economic recovery. Investors and traders closely monitor RBA decisions and economic data to make informed trading decisions in the forex market.
