Key Quotes

“This could be more important for AUD following an uneventful CPI print. Though we are mindful of developments in the commodity space that suggest a more supportive trading tone for the antipode, AUD's relationship with relative terms of trade has loosened.”

“Instead, the AUD remains largely deferent to broad USD dynamics, so we rather look to US GDP this week as a potential catalyst.”
