AUD/USD bias flipped 4 times to neutral on October 12, 2026
The Australian dollar has retreated from near 0.7000 as a hawkish Federal Reserve stance and Iran-related risks have supported the U.S. dollar, which hit a 17-month high, with the pair giving back early gains made on weak U.S. sentiment data as the dollar rebounded. Focus is now on the upcoming RBA minutes and Australian jobs data, with unemployment seen at 4.6%, alongside further Fed speakers.
