AUD/USD follows risk trends
Absent relevant data in Oz and in Asia in general today, spot followed the broader risk trends, climbing to session highs just below 0.9420. The next risk event for the AUD will be the advanced manufacturing PMI tracked by HSBC for the month of June, to be released on Monday. Analysts at Westpac commented,, “So with carry back on, should the outlook for AUD not be much improved? This is a common view now with some suggesting 1.00 by year end. We do not share this view and see AUD lower by year end as the ‘fair value’ for the A$ continues to track lower, weighed down by iron ore, coking and thermal coal etc”.
