Market Recap

The AUD/USD pair gained overnight, trading at 0.6670 amidst a weaker USD. The Reserve Bank of Australia’s cautious stance on the inflation outlook is bolstering market expectations of another RBA rate hike, providing support for the Aussie. Meanwhile, US bond yields eased slightly, with the 10-year yield dropping 2 basis points to 4.44%. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks on a potential return to a disinflationary trend influenced market sentiment, although an unexpected rise in job vacancies reversed the bond yield decline. The USD weakened against most G10 peers as the DXY briefly surpassed 106 before retreating, while global equity markets showed mixed performance.
