FXStreet reports that MUFG Bank discuss AUD/USD prospects.

“So far this year the 10-year US Treasury yield has risen by almost 40 basis points. However, the move higher in the equivalent Australian government bond yield has been even larger as the 10-year yield has risen from a low of 0.97% at the end of last year to a high overnight of 1.40%. As a result, yield spreads have not moved in the US dollar’s favour against the Australian dollar.” 

“Downside risks for the Australian dollar would increase if the ongoing rise in US yields was to trigger broader correction lower in risk assets. At the same time, the Australian dollar could prove sensitive to signs of ongoing tensions between the US and China under the Biden administration.”
