Australian dollars FAQ
One of the most important factors for the Australian dollar (AUD) is the interest rates determined by the Australian Reserve Bank (RBA). Since Australia is a rich country in terms of welding, another key drive is the price of the biggest export, iron ore. The health of the Chinese economy, the largest trade partner, is inflation, growth rate and trade balance in Australia. Market sensation-whether it is a risky factor for AUD at the same time, whether they receive more risky assets (risky) or seek safe-life (risk-off).
The Australian Reserve Bank (RBA) affects the Australian dollar (AUD) by determining the level of interest rates that Australian banks may lend to each other. This affects the level of interest rates in the economy as a whole. The main purpose of the RBA is to maintain a stable inflation rate of 2-3% by adjusting interest rates up or down. Compared to other major central banks, relatively high interest rates support AUD and the opposite of the relatively low level. RBA can also use quantitative facilitating and squeezing to affect credit conditions with the old Aud-negative and second Aud-positive.
China is the largest trade partner in Australia, so the health of the Chinese economy is a major impact on the value of the Australian dollar (AUD). When the Chinese economy gives good results, it buys more raw materials, goods and services than Australia, increasing demand for AUD and increasing its value. On the contrary, the Chinese economy does not grow as fast as expected. Therefore, positive or negative surprises in Chinese growth data have a direct effect on the Australian dollar and pairs.
According to data from 2021, Iron Ore is the biggest export of Australia, which calculates $ 118 billion per year as China’s primary target. The price of the iron ore can therefore be the driving force of the Australian dollar. In general, if the price of the iron ore increases, AUD also rises as the total demand for the currency increases. If the price of the iron ore decreases, the opposite is the opposite. Higher iron ore prices tend to cause a positive trade balance for Australia, which is positive of AUD.
The difference between what he earned from imports from the exports of a country for imports is another factor that may affect the value of the Australian dollar. If Australia is produced at a high rate of exports, the currency gains value from the demand created since foreign buyers who want to buy their exports spend to buy imports. Therefore, a positive net trade balance strengthens AUD with the opposite effect if the trade balance is negative.
