AUD/USD squeezes through 0.65. Economists at Société Générale analyze the pair’s outlook.

Bulls count on RBA hike

This week perhaps constitutes a unique window for the AUD to try and recapture levels closer to 0.66 after the frustration endured over the past month and much of the past year.

A break of the late August high of 0.6522 could send AUD/USD on a path towards 0.66, perhaps 0.67.

The RBA must deliver 25 bps on Tuesday and risk sentiment cannot falter.

The narrowing of the Aussie trade surplus and weak PMIs for October are a warning sign not to get too carried away.

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

GBP/USD fell about 0.35% on Tuesday, settling around 1.3350 after slipping below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average for the first time since early December. The pair has pulled back sharply from its late-January high near 1.3870, shedding over 500 pips in a series of lower highs and lower lows.

Gold bounces back toward $5.200 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold bounces back toward $5,200 in Wednesday's Asian session, moving away from an over one-week low. Sustained safe-haven flows, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, act as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI data due later in the day.
