Reserve Bank of Australia

The Pound to Australian Dollar exchange rate tumbled following a subtle but meaningful change in monetary policy guidance from the RBA.

Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Philip Lowe castigated markets for expecting an interest rate rise as early as 2022, an intervention that sent the Australian Dollar lower.

The Australian Dollar fell in the wake of a decision by the reserve bank to extend its quantitative easing programme while a turn lower in global markets provided global headwinds to the currency's recent trend of appreciation.

The Reserve Bank of Australia is tipped by a one of Australia's largest lenders to delay the withdrawal of its crisis-era stimulus.

Despite a gruelling Sydney lockdown and expectations for the economy to shrink in the third quarter, the Reserve Bank of Australia has said it will continue to reduce its quantitative easing programme as per plans laid out in July.

The Reserve Bank of Australia must react sooner rather than later to signs that the economy is suffering a sharp slowdown in activity says one of the country's big banks.

The Australian Dollar was the best performing major currency on the day the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) said it would start slowing down its asset purchase programme in a nod to the economy's ongoing strength.

The Pound-to-Australian Dollar exchange rate (GBP/AUD) has fallen into the middle of its June-July range at 1.8390, an entirely predictable move given the gravitas of the looming policy update from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).

Foreign exchange analysts say the increased uncertainty caused by new lockdowns in Australia over recent days could trigger further Australian Dollar weakness, but only if the Reserve Bank of Australia becomes more cautious.

Foreign exchange analysts at Wall Street banking giant Morgan Stanley aren't convinced the Reserve Bank of Australia is going to become a source of significant source of upside impetus.

The Reserve Bank of Australia could increasingly become a source of support to the Australian Dollar when it announces what amounts to a 'soft taper' at its July policy meeting.

The Australian Dollar was a straggler ahead of the weekend but could continue to frustrate the bullish side of the market for a while yet, according to forecasts from Rabobank, which suggest Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) policy could prevent AUD/USD from getting back above even its February high of 0.79 all year.

Australian lender ANZ have released research detailing how they believe the Reserve Bank of Australia is underestimating the scale of the economic rebound awaiting the country, a view which could have supportive implications for the Australian Dollar if correct.

The Pound-to-Australian Dollar exchange rate has shifted onto its front foot and could remain buoyant over the coming days before trading an ascending range in the weeks thereafter as the relative central bank policy outlook argues for outperformance by Sterling and a higher GBP/AUD.

The Australian Dollar was a straggler among major currencies on Monday as Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) monetary policy continued to handicap the antipodean unit, enabling GBP/AUD to rise with an outperforming Pound that could have scope for further gains over the short-term.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has surprised markets by expanding its bond buying quantitative easing programme while sending a clear message to markets that interest rates will not rise for three more years.

The Australian Dollar underperformed with Asian financial markets on Wednesday and is vulnerable to softening commodity prices in the short-term, according to strategists at Westpac, who see risks of a correction in AUD/USD ahead of further gains later in 2021. 

Record low wage price rises are unlikely to sway the Reserve Bank of Australia and means the current cycle of interest rate cuts could now be over, which in turn translates into firming Australian Dollar over coming months.

The Australian Dollar advanced against most major currencies on Wednesday but increasingly risks becoming a laggard in the months ahead, according to new research from Westpac, as the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) expands its balance sheet through an enhanced quantitative easing programme.
