Key Quotes
“With the RBA firmly on hold, backed by headline GDP growth above 3% and commodity prices grinding higher, AUD has the scope for recovery on crosses in coming months. But in the next few weeks, AUD’s apparent role as proxy for US-China trade relations seems likely to cap rallies. Risks look skewed for a break below AUD/GBP 0.54 or GBP/AUD above 1.85.”
