About AUD/USD
AUD/USD — the "Aussie" — quotes the Australian dollar against the US dollar, with one pip equal to 0.0001. Australia is a major exporter of iron ore, coal and LNG, and China is its largest trading partner, so the pair is widely used as a liquid proxy for Chinese demand and the industrial-commodity cycle: soft Chinese activity data or falling bulk-commodity prices typically weigh on the Aussie.
Monetary policy is set by the Reserve Bank of Australia against the Federal Reserve, and the rate differential between the two shapes the medium-term trend. AUD/USD is also a classic risk-sensitive currency — it tends to appreciate when global equities and risk appetite are strong and to fall in risk-off phases. The pair is most active through the Asia-Pacific session, when Australian and Chinese data are released.
The market for AUD/USD is currently closed. At the last close it stood at 0.7204, a move of +0.0004 (+0.05%) versus the previous close of 0.7200, after ranging between 0.7199 and 0.7215 over that session. FXMARE's technical engine currently reads the setup as Strong Buy.

AUD/USD — frequently asked questions
What is the AUD/USD rate today?
This page shows the live AUD/USD rate - how many US dollars one Australian dollar buys - with an intraday chart and day range. One pip is 0.0001, and the pair is most active during the Asia-Pacific session.
Why does AUD/USD follow China?
China is Australia's largest trading partner and the main buyer of its iron ore, coal and LNG. Australian export income therefore rises and falls with Chinese industrial demand, so traders use AUD/USD as a liquid proxy for the Chinese growth and commodity cycle - weak Chinese activity data usually weighs on the Aussie.
Is the Australian dollar a risk currency?
Yes. AUD/USD tends to strengthen when global equities and risk appetite are firm and to fall in risk-off phases, which makes it correlate loosely with stock indices. That behaviour comes from its commodity exposure and Australia's historically higher interest rates.
