Australian Dollar Outlook: Currency Markets Rocked by Fed Decision

 

After the Fed raised rates, the Australian Dollar fell. The RBA has hinted at less aggressive monetary policy principles. The USD now has some heft thanks to the Fed’s massive boost. Will the AUD/USD exchange rate decline?

The Australian Dollar now seems to be a victim of US Dollar manipulation.

There isn’t much in the way of headlines to work with this week as flows continue to play out. The GBP/USD is down slightly to 1.3110 from around 1.3148 earlier today, while the AUD/USD is down 0.5 percent to 0.7472 as buyers struggle to keep above 0.7500.
