The Australian Dollar (AUD) holds ground against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday after two days of losses. The AUD/USD pair depreciated as the Greenback received support from the stronger-than-expected economic data from the United States (US).
The AUD also faced downward pressure from risk aversion after the US President Donald Trump shared plans to impose a 100% tariff on imports of branded or patented pharmaceutical products from October 1, unless a pharmaceutical company is building a manufacturing plant in the US, per Reuters.
Australia's Monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI), which climbed by 3.0% year-over-year in August, following a 2.8% increase reported in July. The ASX 30 Day Interbank Cash Rate Futures indicate that markets now price just a 4% chance of a September rate cut. According to Reuters, prospects for a Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) rate reduction at its November meeting faded to 50% from almost 70% before the data.
