AUD/USD Bounces Back Ahead of June Low to Register Fresh Yearly High
US Dollar Outlook: AUD/USD
AUD/USD extends the rise from the start of the week to register a fresh yearly high (0.6601), and the exchange rate may attempt to test the November high (0.6688) as it carves a series of higher highs and lows.
AUD/USD Bounces Back Ahead of June Low to Register Fresh Yearly High
Keep in mind, AUD/USD bounced back ahead of the June low (0.6373) to stage a four-day rally, and the US Dollar may continue to depreciate against its Australian counterpart as US President Donald Trump states on Truth Social that ‘our rate should be three points lower than they are.’

Speculation for lower US interest rates may keep AUD/USD afloat as the Federal Reserve ‘projects that the appropriate level of the federal funds rate will be 3.9 percent at the end of this year,’ but the central bank may retain the current policy at its next rate decision on July 30 as Chairman Jerome Powell warns that ‘increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity.’
With that said, the recent rally in AUD/USD may turn out to be temporary should the Fed continue to endorse a wait-and-see approach for monetary policy, but recent price action raises the scope for a further advance in the exchange rate as it carves a series of higher highs and lows.
