AUD/USD bias flipped 2 times to neutral on October 8, 2026
The Australian dollar has pulled back from a one-week top toward 0.6950 after a three-day rally stalled near 0.7000. The move reflects a firm U.S. dollar supported by hawkish Fed minutes, Fed hike bets and elevated U.S. yields, alongside shifting capital flows, softer confidence and Middle East oil risk.
