Send 14th August 2023 Currency Update by Ian Cragg
The AUD has faced downward pressure against different currencies, impacted by factors such as safe-haven demand, economic data, risk aversion, and monetary policy outlook. This situation is not likely to improve anytime soon, which means that AUD is likely to remain weak for the time being.

THE EXPATRIATE International Currency Update by our Specialist Ian Cragg from Send Payments.
The AUD had a mixed week against major currencies. It started the week on a strong note with the RBA hiking rates by 50bps. However, market sentiment quickly shifted and the AUD fell after it was clear that the RBA was moving to a more dovish policy stance. This was compounded by a strong USD, which led to a flight to safety and away from risk currencies like the AUD.

For the most part, the AUD had a good week against other major currency pairs. It gained some ground against the USD, EUR and NZD while losing some ground to the GBP. The overall trend seems to be in favor of the AUD for now, but as the recession materializes, investors may switch to risk off positions soon, which could trigger a market correction. In any case, it's worth keeping an eye on the AUD in the coming weeks.

The AUD had a roller coaster of a week against almost all major currencies. Risk sentiment kept the AUD pinned down in spite of overwhelmingly positive jobs data for May. With no light at the end of the tunnel, the investors are making a rush for safe-haven currencies.

The US Dollar has been the main beneficiary of safe-haven flows this week as geopolitical tensions in Europe continue to escalate. The ongoing war in Ukraine and the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in China have made investors jittery, prompting them to seek refuge in the greenback.
