The AUD/USD pair fell to near 0.6980, its lowest level in two months, as renewed demand for the US Dollar weighed on the Australian currency. The pair traded at 0.6994, down 0.15% on the day, reflecting cautious market sentiment.
Prior to this decline, the AUD had shown resilience but struggled against a stronger USD following higher-than-expected US Producer Price Index data and steady jobless claims. The shift in sentiment highlights the USD’s dominance in global markets.
