AUD/USD bias flipped 7 times to bullish on September 17, 2026
The Australian dollar initially fell against the US dollar after the Federal Reserve delivered a hawkish rate hike after years of holds and cuts. It has since found support near 0.7100 and at the 100-day moving average, with a retreat in oil easing pressure from the US dollar, while IMF warnings that Australia's RBA cash rate may not have peaked keep focus on rate policy on both sides.
