AUD/USD news for September 23, 2026
The Australian dollar has slipped to one-week lows below 0.7100, pressured by softer Australian data including slower PMI readings alongside stronger US PMIs and a firm US dollar. Attention is now on Thursday's Australian jobs report, while RBA Governor Bullock has flagged inflation risks and higher neutral rates, and Middle East diplomacy is also in focus.
