Australian Dollar Outlook: AUD/USD
AUD/USD seems to be defending the V-shape recovery from April as it attempts to retrace the decline from the monthly high (0.6515).
Australian Dollar Forecast: AUD/USD Defends V-Shape Recovery
AUD/USD extends the rebound from the weekly low (0.6357) as an unexpected slowdown in the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) drags on the US Dollar, and the exchange rate may continue to threaten the December high (0.6515) as the ongoing transition in trade policy clouds the outlook for economic activity.

At the same time, data prints coming out of Australia may also sway AUD/USD as the economy is anticipated to add 25.0K jobs in April, and signs of a strong labor market may keep the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) on the sidelines as ‘sustainably returning inflation to target within a reasonable timeframe is the Board’s highest priority.’
In turn, a positive development may keep AUD/USD as it curbs speculation for an RBA rate-cut, but a weaker-than-expected employment report may produce headwinds for the Australian Dollar as it puts pressure on Governor Michele Bullock and Co. to implement lower interest rates.
With that said, AUD/USD may consolidate over the remainder of the week as it failed to push above the December high (0.6515) earlier this month, but the exchange rate may further retrace the decline from the monthly high (0.6515) as it seems to be defending the recovery from the April low (0.5915).
AUD/USD Price Chart – Daily
Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; AUD/USD on TradingView
- AUD/USD appears to be on track to test the December high (0.6515) again as it bounces back from a fresh monthly low (0.6357), with a break/close above the 0.6510 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) to 0.6520 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) region opening up 0.6590 (38.2% Fibonacci extension).
- Next area of interest coming in around the November high (0.6688), but AUD/USD may struggle to retain the rebound from the monthly low (0.6357) should it fail to push above the December high (0.6515).
- Need a move/close below 0.6410 (50% Fibonacci extension) to bring 0.6240 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) back on the radar, with the next area of interest coming in around 0.6130 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) to 0.6140 (23.6% Fibonacci extension).

Gold forecast: XAU/USD stabilised after recent falls – for now
Gold has started the first week of the new month trying to recover some ground after another bruising week. Oil prices have taken a sharp drop and that has allowed risk assets to bounce back, which has clearly helped the precious metal too. However, with sentiment remaining bearish towards the metals, and with $4000 level having been taken out last week, the path of least resistance is to the downside for gold.

The greenback remains fundamentally well supported by a hawkish Federal Reserve, but much of that is already priced in, while the renewed sell-off in technology stocks has exposed its vulnerability.
