The Australian Dollar (AUD) continues its winning streak for the third successive session on Thursday. The AUD/USD pair gained ground after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) surprisingly decided to maintain the Official Cash Rate (OCR) at 3.85% earlier this week.
RBA Governor Michele Bullock stated that inflation risks persist, driven by the elevated unit labor costs and weak productivity, which could push inflation above forecasts. Moreover, RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser mentioned that the global economy is facing uncertainty. Hauser also stated that tariff effects on the global economy are profound and are likely to dampen growth.
However, the AUD could face challenges following the Reuters survey poll, forecasting the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut the cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.60% in August. Australia's four major banks, ANZ, CBA, NAB, and Westpac, also support the rate cut.
