Australian Dollar appreciates as PBoC signals interest rate cuts this year
Friday, 3 January 2025 11:17 WIB | AUD/USD |DOLLARAussie

The Australian Dollar (AUD) extends its gains for the second successive session against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday. The AUD gained support following a Financial Times report stating that the People's Bank of China (PBoC) expects an interest rate cut this year at an appropriate time. As close trade partners, any fluctuations in China's economy tend to impact Australian markets.

The AUD/USD pair appreciates as the Australian Dollar recovers from two-year lows as stronger commodity prices provide support, particularly Oil and Gold, benefiting Australia's position as a major exporter of these key resources.  Oil and Gold stocks saw notable gains including Woodside Energy and Northern Star Resources.
