Aussie edges lower near 0.6850 on robust US jobs data: Nov 9, 2026
The Australian dollar edged lower to near 0.6850 on robust US jobs data and eyed its March low after a bruising week. It later held gains following China's CPI data, even as cooling CPI exposed weak domestic demand while PPI accelerated on an energy shock. Expectations around the RBA, including Nomura's view of a possible final hike in February with cuts from August 2027, add further context.
