AUD/USD bias flipped 2 times to neutral on October 9, 2026
The Australian dollar slipped toward 0.6950 after hawkish Fed minutes reinforced bets on Fed hikes, with headlines also pointing to a firm US dollar and yields around 5.35%. Price action was linked to broader risk sentiment, including Middle East and Iran-related oil risks, an AI-led sell-off on Wall Street, and capital flows turning against the currency. More recently, the pair edged higher as the US dollar retreated alongside bond yields on an improving mood, with focus on upcoming US CPI, Q3 earnings and France's budget situation.
