AUD/USD at a Glance

Prices are indicative and may differ slightly from your broker’s quotes. The live figures above the chart refresh every few seconds.

AUD/USD Overview

AUD/USD, the Aussie, is the leading commodity-linked major, pairing the Australian dollar with the US dollar. It is highly sensitive to China, Australia's biggest export market, and to raw materials such as iron ore, so Chinese data and commodity prices often set the tone. Reserve Bank of Australia policy, domestic jobs and inflation figures, and broad risk sentiment round out the drivers, with the Aussie tending to rise when markets are risk-on. It is most active during the Sydney and Asian sessions and around major Chinese releases. On ForexR you can monitor the live AUD/USD rate, use daily pivot points to frame intraday levels, size positions with ATR, and read the multi-timeframe chart for trend context. Ready to trade?
