Fundamental Points: AUDUSD Volatility Ahead of RBA Minutes
During Tuesday’s Asian session the transcript of the latest monetary policy by the Reserve Bank of Australia will hit the markets. Since the September RBA statement was pretty much a rehash of their previous one, the minutes of their meeting might contain more insight on whether or not individual policymakers are shifting their biases.
RBA has previously reiterated how a higher AUD has dampened their outlook for output, employment, and inflation.
With that, another round of jawboning could shift the AUDUSD volatility to the downside.
