High AUD makes fuel price cheaper.... Australia doesnt Demand Fuel.... it Supplies FUEL..... Pls research wt Australia produces.... Iron, and Gas... With Australian Dollar being even ABOVE the American Dollar... Why not buy Fuel from US instead of Australia?? does it make sense?? Australian cant sell their Gas Abroad....

Also... High AUD makes Foreign Investment going into Australia difficult... have you read recently of Large Mining Production projects are being cancelled? i wonder why... oh i know AUD is too expensive, especially when you got to BUY the AUD in order to use the AUD to invest.... so investment simply just got cancelled...

Bloomberg.

Australia’s central bank is set to extend the developed world’s steepest interest rate cuts after banks failed to match its reductions, blunting their impact.

The Reserve Bank of Australia probably will lower its cash rate to a record-low 2.75 percent by February, from the current 3.25 percent, interest-rate swap prices show. The nation’s four biggest lenders, accounting for 85 percent of the bank mortgage market, have withheld about a quarter of the RBA’s 1.5 percentage points of cuts since November.

Australia’s central bank is set to extend the developed world’s steepest interest rate cuts after banks failed to match its reductions, blunting their impact.

The efforts of RBA Governor Glenn Stevens to stimulate the economy with lower borrowing costs are also being hampered as Australians boost savings to a record and repay debt instead of increasing spending. Recent economic releases have suggested lower borrowing costs are needed as newly built homes fell to the lowest on record in August and mortgage lending is growing at the weakest pace since records began in 1977.

“The fall in the cash rate has overstated the degree to which monetary policy has eased,” said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at AMP Capital Investors Ltd. in Sydney. “The easing we’ve seen so far has just involved the Reserve Bank taking its foot off the brake, it hasn’t actually put its foot on the accelerator until perhaps now.”

National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAB), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (ANZ) passed on 20 basis points of the RBA’s latest 25 basis point cut. Westpac Banking Corp. (WBC) cut by 18 basis points. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.

A Wise man once told me... A Strong Currency is a sign that the economy is dying and in its peak.... otherwise look at the Japs... yes the Yen is Strong... hence the reason why Japanese is NEVER a sought after place to invest in... especially when the Estimated YoY return in Japanese Investments are Negative....
Also.... CHF is strong right?? well they are strong indeed but SNB is smart enough to Ease their currency strength through the peg with euro so that Investment can still flow into the economy so that the economy doesnt shrink...
Go figure...

A little look at the these data and i see... Australia Net imports Oil.... and Exports majorly Raw Materials to China such as iron, gold, machinery etc....
https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat...k/geos/as.html
Now if China doesnt BUY Iron, Gold and machinery from Australia, they could easily buy all these stuff From US.... when the exchange rate is cheaper to buy in US than in Australia... thats why you see lowered demand for australian exports....

But still you cannot disagree the fact that Australia sounds A Bit like Japan.... the fact they import fuel, and export machinery only thing helping australia is the other natural resources like iron and gold.... But still a STRONG currency is a Warning signal that the Economy is turning to the down side, peaked and about to weaken, thats probably why Investments are starting to pull out of Australia too...
Look at what the Strong Yen did to the Japanese Economy... Flat growth since 1980s peak... and economy on the verge of deflation too....

STRONG CURRENCY = DYING economy
WEAK CURRENCY = INCREASING Economic opportunity.

we had 75bps cut this year if im not wrong and AUD is still above parity..

rate cut alone will not do it i think..
That's because the yield from Australian investment is still too high compared to rest of world offerings. Therefore size of cuts at present is trying to stimulate domestic demand without scaring off foreign investors. AUD can & will correct if rates are cut much lower, which will happen if domestic demand doesn't respond to the stimulation.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

There shouldnt be a notion of strong or weak currency it should be balanced. Us had strong currency from 80s and their manufacturing peaked at a time when they signed to devalue usd long term. It created a bubble but is that oppurtunity. I see less ppl working and more ppl reaping benefits from others.

ya one day u will lose ur shirt with that style of trading. What kind of risk u adding at each level? So if u had gotten it right at 1.03 thats hardly anything to brag about if we are indeed at a top.

the US Dollar is an Exception unfortunately.... Because The world is Based heavily on US Dollars... to many country using US Dollar as medium of trade
Reason why the US dollar has depreciated in value is because they printed so much money to fund their government spending over the last 2-3 decades.
Nothing to do with Investment flows when im talking about currencies like Yen and Chf being strong is a signal that these economies are dying... AUD being strong is going to follow the same fate if they dont do anything about it to ease....

YEN unfortunately is dying because they are export reliant... CHF not so,since they dont export shit... but AUD exports.... and im telling you Strong AUD is going to lead them to the same fate YEN is facing...

Does the governor of the RBA (the body who sets rates) count as an Australian official?

He's said it several times but I quote from the October statement "exchange rate has remained higher than might have been expected, given the observed decline in export prices and the weaker global outlook"
