Positive news about the U.S.-China trade negotiations supported the Australian currency. The United States and China are Australia's largest trade and economic partners, and a positive shift in trade relations between the two countries has a positive effect on the mood of consumers and investors in the Australian economy.
Meanwhile, a trade agreement could face an insurmountable obstacle. The U.S. is demanding China’s commitment to buy U.S. $50 billion worth of agricultural products be included in the trade agreement, which could be an obstacle to reaching that agreement. This is two times more than China bought before the conflict began. Purchases of this scale will far exceed the real needs of China and lead to a significant surplus in the domestic market, economists say.
Another breakdown of the agreement between these countries could negatively affect both the world and Australian economies.
On Tuesday (03:30 GMT), the decision on the rate will be made by the RBA of Australia. In October, the RBA made the third rate cut this year, bringing it to 0.75%.
At the same time, the RBA leadership does not exclude the possibility of further easing of monetary policy.
If tomorrow the RBA will lower the rate or directly declare such a reduction before the end of the year, then the Australian dollar runs the risk of falling under active sales.
Also, in the dynamics of AUD, much will depend on the rhetoric of the accompanying RBA statement, which will also be published on Tuesday (at 03:30 GMT).
