FXStreet (Guatemala) – AUD/USD is marginally higher post the release of the RBA minutes. The major commodity currency is up 20 pips and seeking the 200 DMA out on the 1hr sticks.
The RBA stays with their on-going stance and feels that it is appropriate to stick to their current policy, stating that earlier rate cuts are supportive of aggregate demand and expect Q3 GDP to improve on the second quarters. Markets will soon move over then to catalysts from the US counterpart to the trade that lies with the FOMC. Expectations are that we will not see a move from the Fed until next year keeping the bullishness in the rate underpinned.
