AUD/USD Sentiment The RBA reported that it expected the Australian economy to grow by 4.25% this year, fueled for Chinese demand of raw materials. A tremendous amount of uncertainty still lies around the true extent of the Japanese tsunami and its local and global economic impacts. Furthermore, the ongoing nuclear crisis in Japan is also a cause of uncertainty and fear. The price of oil closed this past week at its highest level in over 2 years, fueled by the ongoing unrest in the Middle East including Western military involvement in Libya, and the lack of clarity as to how and when the Libyan revolt will end and whether or not Libyan leader Muammar Qhaddafi will remain in power.
