Australian Dollar rises as US Dollar weakens amid growing economic concerns
Tuesday, 18 March 2025 09:14 WIB | AUD/USD |Dollar Australia,

The Australian Dollar (AUD) gains ground for the third successive session on Tuesday. The AUD/USD pair strengthened as the US Dollar (USD) weakened amid rising trade tensions and growing economic concerns in the United States (US).

Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Assistant Governor (Economic) Sarah Hunter stated late Monday that the central bank will take a cautious approach to rate cuts.

The February statement indicated that the RBA board is more conservative than market expectations regarding further easing. Hunter also emphasized monitoring US policy decisions and their impact on inflation in Australia.

The AUD may face pressure as US President Donald Trump reaffirmed plans to impose reciprocal and sectoral tariffs on April 2. Trump confirmed that there would be no exemptions for steel and aluminum and mentioned that reciprocal tariffs on specific countries would be implemented alongside auto duties.
