Understanding AUD to USD Exchange Rates
The Australian Dollar (AUD), often called the 'Aussie' in forex markets, is a commodity currency that closely tracks the prices of Australia's major exports, particularly iron ore, coal, and natural gas. AUD/USD exchange rates are heavily influenced by commodity prices, Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) monetary policy, US Federal Reserve decisions, and economic data from China (Australia's largest trading partner). The Australian dollar tends to strengthen when commodity prices rise and weaken during global economic uncertainty, making it a popular proxy trade for commodity market sentiment.
