The strongest to weakest of the major currencies

As North American traders enter for the week, the  AUD 
AUD

The Australian dollar (AUD) is the official currency of Australia, which is also used in Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Norfolk Island, as well as independent pacific states.Introduced in 1966, the AUD is currently the fifth most traded currency in the world, behind only the US dollar, euro, Japanese yen, and British pound.The currency is very important to forex markets and is routinely used as a carry trade against other majors.The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is the central banking authority tasked with the management and issuance of AUD banknotes.What Factors Affect the AUD?The AUD is more susceptible than other currencies to macroeconomic factors. Overall, monetary policy is the largest mover of the currency, including interest rate differentials.Beyond Australia, commodity prices such as those of precious metals and others are also important to the AUD and can cause fluctuations in its value relative to other currencies.Global risk sentiment and confidence are also indicators that are closely tracked given their correlation to the AUD.This is due to the AUD being seen as a commodity currency, and also used as one of the most popular growth and risk proxies in global financial markets.Any positive mood in the global market will likely cause the AUD to climb, while if there is a prevailing pessimism, the AUD will often decline.On a domestic scale, government credit ratings can also impact the AUD. Australia’s credit rating influences the risk profile of its debt.This trend directly influences the cost the government has to pay on the debt it owes.

is the strongest, while the EUR is the weakest. The EU is contemplating releasing strategic petroleum reserves joining the US in it’s efforts to slow the rise of oil as a result of the Ukraine war. Last Thursday, Pres. Biden announced that the US will be releasing 1 million barrels per day from strategic petroleum reserve starting May 1 for a six-month period. Counter balancing is the EU is looking to impose even more new sanctions after proof of atrocities (the killing of civilians execution style) from Russia emerged over the weekend. The Russians have denied the allegations but the news threatens peace efforts. The price of oil is trading up as traders enter for the week.

The Fed is likely to push for a 50 basis point rise after Friday’s solid jobs report. Feds WIlliams over the weekend said that the Fed could announce the start of balance sheet reduction at the next meeting in May. He added:

  • Expects that rate increases and balance sheet reduction will help reduce inflation to around 4% this year
  • Then “close to our 2% longer-run goal in 2024”

Meanwhile Fed’s Daly added:

  • “The case for 50, barring any negative surprise between now and the next meeting, has grown”

The calendar is light with Factory Orders the only US release at 10 AM ET.
