The Australian Dollar is still on the back foot and it may stay this way for some time.

Nordea Research discusses AUD medium outlook and thinks that it is still too early to buy into AUD again and maintains a bearish bias into year-end.
“We have been tactically short the AUD for a large part of 2018, as several of the factors that have caused the aforementioned Asian export of disinflation can also be considered AUD negative factors. A Chinese slowdown with consequently weaker CNY and lower industrial metal prices are factors that speak in favour of weaker AUD. Hence, the disinflationary impulses from; Asia tend to weaken AUD against the USD as they unfold. We don’t expect the AUD to reverse its trend; unless/before the disinflationary winds start to fade.
We still judge that it is a story for 2019 and expect a weak November/December for the AUD,” Nordea argues.
