Alpha Portfolio Recommendation: Sell – Australian Dollar AUD
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has increased the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 4.35%, alongside a similar increase for the interest rate on Exchange Settlement balances, in response to persistent inflation that, while past its peak, remains too high. After the RBA hike rates by 25 bps on Tuesday, the language was fairly cautious causing the the AUD to sell off against the USD.
