Traditionally, the Australian Dollar is sensitive to the overall level of risk appetite. Thus, waning risk appetite is set to weigh on the Aussie, economists at Rabobank report.
Against the backdrop of tighter monetary conditions and weaker global growth, the Australian economy is set to experience a slowdown next year.
On balance, we expect USD strength and poor levels of risk appetite to cap upside potential in AUD/USD in the months ahead. That said, we would look to sell rallies in EUR/AUD and see scope for a move to 1.59 on a six-month view.
