AUD: Interest rate hike boosts outlook – Commerzbank
The Australian Dollar is benefiting from a recent interest rate hike by the Reserve Bank of Australia, which raised rates to 3.85%. The RBA's more hawkish projections for inflation and interest rates have also supported the AUD. However, structural problems may limit long-term gains, notes Volkmar Baur from Commerzbank.
Interest rate dynamics and AUD outlook
"This morning, the Aussie is benefiting not only from the Reserve Bank of Australia's interest rate hike, but also from the central bank's slightly more hawkish than expected tone."
"However, the projections are not entirely positive for the Aussie. Higher inflation and a more hawkish central bank should support the Aussie in the short term."
