FX:AUDUSD   Australian Dollar / U.S. Dollar
Current trend

Today, the instrument has slightly strengthened against the background of the growth of the Australian index of leading economic indicators.

On Tuesday, the minutes of the last meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia were published; according to them, the country's economy continues to grow even faster than expected. RBA's head, Philip Lowe, confirmed yesterday that the regulator will maintain the current monetary policy.

At the same time, commodity currencies are under pressure, as the US and China still cannot agree on trade disputes. The parties did not make a joint statement on the results of the APEC meeting, which was held this weekend, so the instrument is still under pressure.

Today at 15:30 (GMT+2), data on the US labor and real estate market, as well as on orders for durable goods will be published. Confirming a positive outlook for employment and sales growth in the existing homes market will contribute to a decrease in the instrument to 0.7150–0.7110.
