Australian Dollar eyes further upside amid softer US Dollar and tariff caution
Friday, 28 March 2025 04:42 WIB | AUD/USD |AUD/USD,

The Australian Dollar (AUD) trades steady around the region 0.6300 against the US Dollar (USD) during Thursday's American session. The pair consolidates recent gains despite renewed weakness in the US Dollar, which faces selling pressure after tariff-related developments and market caution ahead of Friday's PCE inflation release. The AUD/USD pair trades within a tight range, reflecting market indecision but holding ground as optimism over China's stimulus pledges provides underlying support.
