News Highlights for AUDUSD
AUDUSD struggles around 0.6600 pre-Fed and Aussie inflation data:
- AUDUSD aims for stability above 0.6600 amid a busy week.
- Fed expected to maintain the status quo, keeping rates steady.
- A decline in Australia’s Q4 inflation could ease pressure on RBA.
The AUDUSD pair hovers near 0.6600 ahead of the Fed’s interest rate decision and Australia’s Q4 inflation data. Uncertainty prevails with cautious market sentiment reflected in S&P500 futures’ nominal losses. The USD gains strength amid geopolitical tensions, while investors await the Fed’s stance on maintaining interest rates. Meanwhile, eyes are on Australia’s inflation data, where a potential easing may alleviate pressures on the RBA.

What is the Consumer Price Index (QoQ)?
The Consumer Price Index (QoQ) measures the change in prices of a basket of goods and services from one quarter to another. This index tracks inflation and helps traders understand how price changes may impact consumer spending and overall economic health. By monitoring CPI, traders can gauge potential shifts in monetary policy and market sentiment, as well as identify trading opportunities across various asset classes, such as currency pairs and equities.
