AUD/USD news for September 24, 2026
The Australian dollar has slipped to one-week lows below 0.7100, trading near its August 7 low, after softer Australian PMI and weak jobs data coincided with stronger US PMIs and a firm US dollar. Market focus has been on Australian labor data for its implications for RBA policy views, alongside attention toward the Trump-Xi summit.
