AUD Rises on Improved Sentiment, Retail Sales; RBA Expected
The Australian dollar climbed above the $0.64 mark, distancing itself from multi-month lows. This upturn in sentiment can be attributed to several factors, including the US Federal Reserve's cautious approach to additional interest rate hikes, as well as China's unveiling of new measures aimed at strengthening its capital markets and bolstering investor confidence.
Investors also processed data indicating that Australian retail sales had outpaced expectations in July. This development provides the Reserve Bank of Australia with room to maintain a restrained approach to domestic monetary policy.
During its upcoming meeting scheduled for September, the central bank is widely anticipated to keep its key interest rate steady at 4.1%. This decision is seen as a means for the board to assess the consequences of prior rate hikes on the economy, effectively buying time before making any further adjustments. #OPINIONLEADER#
