About AUD/USD
AUD/USD is the commodity dollar pair - the Australian Dollar moves in lockstep with iron ore, copper, and coal prices because Australia is the world's largest exporter of these resources. China is Australia's dominant trading partner, so Chinese PMI data, industrial production, and property sector health frequently matter more than Australian domestic data. The RBA is one of the more predictable central banks - rate changes are well-telegraphed - which makes this pair a cleaner play on commodity cycles than monetary policy.
- Spread
- 0.5–1.5 pip
- Volatility
- Medium
- Best Session
- Sydney–Tokyo (22:00–06:00 GMT)
- Key Drivers
- Iron ore and copper futures, Chinese economic data (PMI, GDP, property), RBA rate decisions, Australian employment data, broad risk sentiment
Trading Tips
- →Check the Dalian iron ore futures price before trading AUD - the correlation is strong enough to act as a leading signal.
- →Chinese PMI releases (Caixin Manufacturing) at 01:45 GMT frequently gap AUD/USD 20–40 pips.
- →The RBA meets 8 times per year and releases minutes two weeks later - both events are typically low-volatility affairs.
- →AUD/USD often trends cleanly on the daily chart because the fundamental drivers (commodities, China) change gradually.
