“Even though Australia managed a small current account surplus last year, the AUD has historically been the G10 currency most sensitive to a souring in risk appetite.”
“We anticipate that the USD will remain well bid through the duration of this crisis and see risk of further sharp moves lower in AUD/USD back towards the recent lows before the pandemic has peaked.”
“We see risk of the AUD/USD dropping again on a 3 month view towards 0.55.”
