AUD/USD slips toward 0.6900 as Fed hike bets lift dollar: Nov 11, 2026
The Australian dollar slipped toward 0.6900 and traded near 0.6850 after a hot US CPI print raised expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes and supported the US dollar. The move also reflects diverging Fed and RBA outlooks and China-related pressure, including an eased October trade surplus, weak demand and focus on a tariff truce.
