AUD/USD bias flipped 12 times to bullish on October 13, 2026
The Australian Dollar is caught between a hawkish Reserve Bank of Australia and a hawkish Federal Reserve. RBA minutes showed a strong case for a September hike to 4.60% to keep inflation expectations anchored, with holding considered only briefly and the door left open to further increases, while Fed hawkishness and Iran-related risks have supported the US Dollar and capped moves ahead of 0.7000.
