Australian Dollar Outlook: AUD/USD
AUD/USD halts the recent series of lower highs and lows as it rebounds from a fresh weekly low (0.6408).
Australian Dollar Forecast: AUD/USD Halts Bearish Price Series
Keep in mind, AUD/USD cleared the December high (0.6515) earlier this week as it registered a fresh yearly high (0.6537), and the exchange rate may attempt to retrace the decline from the November high (0.6688) should it continue to defend the V-shape recovery from last month.
Australia Economic Calendar
Looking ahead, the update to Australia’s Retail Sales report may sway AUD/USD as household spending is expected to increase another 0.3% in April, and a positive development may push the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to the sidelines following the decision to lower the cash rate by 25bp earlier this month.

In turn, signs of a robust economy may fuel the recent rebound in AUD/USD as it curbs speculation for another RBA rate-cut, but a weaker-than-expected Retail Sales report may drag on the Australian Dollar as it puts pressure on Governor Michele Bullock and Co. to further unwind its restrictive policy.
With that said, AUD/USD may consolidate going into the end of May should it fail to defend the advance from the weekly low (0.6408), but the exchange rate may continue to defend the V-shape recovery from April as it bounces back ahead of the monthly low (0.6357).
AUD/USD Price Chart – Daily
Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; AUD/USD on TradingView
- AUD/USD bounces back ahead of the monthly low (0.6357) to snap the bearish price series from earlier this week, and the exchange rate may stage a larger rebound amid the failed attempt to close below 0.6410 (50% Fibonacci extension).
- Need a close above the 0.6510 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) to 0.6520 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) region to bring 0.6590 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) on the radar, with the next area of interest coming in around November high (0.6688).
- At the same time, a close below 0.6410 (50% Fibonacci extension) may lead to a test of the monthly low (0.6357), with the next area of interest coming in around 0.6240 (61.8% 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.
GBP/USD outlook: Currency Pair of the Week | November 2, 2026
The GBP/USD heads into a crowded week of event risk, with the midterm elections, a Bank of England rate decision and Friday's non-farm payrolls report all capable of moving markets sharply. 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.
