Australian Dollar Forecast: US Dollar Crunch Strengthens the Aussie
FORECAST OF THE AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR: NEUTRAL
- The US Dollar fell while the Australian Dollar rose.
- Risky assets increased worldwide as a result of a weaker US CPI report.
- The Fed’s strategy differs from the RBA’s, which might lead to divergent outcomes.
Due to a weaker US Dollar last week due to US CPI printing lower than expected, the Australian Dollar rose to its highest level over two months. Instead of the forecasted 7.9% and the prior 8.2%, the headline CPI was 7.7% year-over-year.
The Federal Reserve‘s aggressive rate increases this year may be helping the central bank in its battle against inflation.
As a result, the market is currently encouraged by the possibility that the US’s strict monetary policy would contain price pressures without crushing the economy.
