Australian Dollar remains stronger after the release of employment data
Thursday, 12 December 2024 08:41 WIB | AUD/USD |Dollar Australia,

The Australian Dollar (AUD) halts its two days of losses against the US Dollar (USD) on Thursday.

The AUD remains stronger after the release of domestic mixed employment data. The seasonally adjusted Employment Change increased by 35,600, bringing the total number of employed people to 14,535,500 in November.

This exceeded the previous reading of 12,100 and the expected figure of 25,000. Meanwhile, the Unemployment Rate fell to 3.9%, the lowest since March, lower than market estimates of 4.2%.

The AUD/USD pair faced challenges due to the broadly stronger US dollar (USD) following the release of the US inflation report on Wednesday.

US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose to 2.7% year-over-year in November from 2.6% in October. The headline CPI reported a 0.3% reading MoM, in line with the market consensus.

Meanwhile, the core CPI, excluding volatile food and energy prices, climbed 3.3% YoY, while the core CPI increased 0.3% MoM in November, as expected.
