AUD/USD Sentiment

  • The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to leave interest rates mostly unchanged for 2011 due to the natural disasters that have affected the Australian economy.
  • The Australian Dollar is the most overvalued against the US Dollar compared to other currencies. With the aftermath of the Queensland flooding and Cyclone Yasi lingering in the air as well as China’s inflationary counter measures, we can expect a downward correction ahead.
