AUD/USD bias flipped 6 times to weak bearish on September 15, 2026
The Australian dollar has slid to monthly and three-week lows near 0.7150 and above 0.7100 as the U.S. dollar stood firm. The pressure follows hot U.S. inflation data that firmed expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike, alongside elevated U.S. yields and oil prices. A broader risk-off mood, including an AI-related selloff and caution ahead of the FOMC, has also weighed on the currency.
