Amidst growing expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed), the Australian Dollar (AUD) declined by 0.40% to 0.6790 in Friday’s session. The Fed’s focus on preventing labor market deterioration has led traders to anticipate a 75-basis-point decrease in the remaining two Fed policy meetings. However, the AUD remained stable despite the People’s Bank of China’s (PBoC) decision to maintain interest rates unchanged. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has maintained a hawkish stance on inflation, leading to market expectations of a modest 25-basis-point rate cut in 2024, signaling a shift away from previously anticipated aggressive easing cycles.

The Australian Dollar showed little reaction to China’s PBoC decision to leave interest rates unchanged, as the focus remained on the Fed’s dovish bets that might limit the downside for the AUD. Despite the mixed economic outlook in Australia, the RBA’s inflation stance has remained strong, leading to expectations of a more moderate rate cut in the future. The Australian Dollar’s resilience has been supported by strong employment data, with traders anticipating further rate cuts by the Fed to support the labor market. Australia’s August employment report showed a gain of 47.5K jobs, exceeding estimates and bolstering the currency.

In terms of technical outlook, the AUD/USD saw the indicators turning flat around the 0.6800 mark, signaling a possible consolidation phase before the next upward movement. With the pair near yearly highs, buyers may be locking in gains from previous sessions, causing the indicators to turn flat while staying in positive terrain. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained near 62, indicating a positive outlook for the AUD/USD pair in the near term.

Factors such as interest rates set by the RBA, the price of Iron Ore, the health of the Chinese economy, inflation in Australia, and market sentiment all play a crucial role in determining the value of the Australian Dollar. The RBA’s influence on interest rates affects the AUD’s strength, with higher rates supporting the currency. China’s economic health is a significant factor, as it is Australia’s largest trading partner, impacting demand for the AUD. Positive or negative surprises in Chinese growth data can directly impact the Australian Dollar’s value, as well as the price of Iron Ore, Australia’s largest export. Additionally, the Trade Balance, which measures the difference between exports and imports, can influence the value of the AUD, with a positive Balance strengthening the currency.

Overall, the upbeat Australian employment data, coupled with the Fed’s dovish bets and the RBA’s inflation stance, have strengthened the case for the RBA to maintain its current interest rate policy. While expectations of rate cuts by the Fed could limit the downside for the AUD, the currency remains resilient in the face of mixed economic outlooks. The technical outlook for the AUD/USD pair points towards a consolidation phase before the next upward movement, with indicators remaining flat but in positive territory. With various factors influencing the Australian Dollar, including interest rates, Iron Ore prices, the Chinese economy, and the Trade Balance, the currency’s value remains subject to fluctuations based on global economic conditions.
