Understanding USD to AUD Exchange Rates
The US Dollar (USD) to Australian Dollar (AUD) exchange rate reflects the relationship between the world's reserve currency and a commodity-dependent economy. USD/AUD is influenced by commodity prices (especially iron ore and coal, Australia's top exports), interest rate differentials between the US Federal Reserve and Reserve Bank of Australia, and China's economic health (as China is Australia's largest export destination). When commodity prices rise or China's economy grows, the Aussie typically strengthens against the dollar, while US interest rate hikes often boost the dollar relative to the AUD.
