Empty docket for the Aussie dollar and China ahead in the week would leave the pair to the mercy of the risk trends, while market participants continue to digest last week’s FOMC ‘no-taper’. However, interesting calendar in the US economy combined by plenty of Fedspeak would add volatility in the USD-side of the equation. According to analysts at TD Securities, “We judge that after sitting on the sidelines for the last few months, the RBA is likely to be back jawboning the currency at its next meeting in October… The appreciation of the AUD in recent days, if sustained, does raise the probability of more policy easing by the RBA, a natural ceiling against further AUD appreciation”.
