The main things that move the price

The Reserve Bank of Australia

Rate decisions, along with Australian inflation and jobs figures, show where the bank goes next.

China and raw materials

Australia sells iron ore and other raw materials to China. Strong Chinese figures and dear ore usually support the currency.

The mood of the market

The Australian dollar likes a calm market: it usually rises when investors buy risk and falls when they are afraid.

When it is most active

Its own figures come out in Asian hours, along with news from China. Later in the day US figures move the pair.

Major releases ahead

The next high-impact releases over two weeks. What each means for the market is on its card.
