Commodity demand has been directly impacted by the recessionary economic conditions in Europe, which has a down-chain economic impact on China, and thus the Australian commodity markets. Inflationary pressures in the Australian economy remain clear and present, while the labour market remains relatively firm. The resurgent reserve currency has forced the AUD back from 2023 highs of 0.6850, back down towards 0.6500. There may be some downside left, if Geo-Political conditions in the Middle East extend and supply chain problems remain.
Current Level: 0.6550
Support: 0.6540
Resistance: 0.6660
Last week’s range: 0.6550 – 0.6700
