The Strength of The US Dollar and Interest Rate Policy A major reason why the Australian dollar is falling in value is because the US dollar is gaining prominence and value. The US economy is currently on the third interest rate cut cycle and is expected to follow with further cuts. It normally happens that an interest rate reduction weaker the dollar if other currencies are strenge and increases the flow of US to. For some reason, this does not happen. The US dollar keeps losign its power and the Australian dollar barely moves. The economic future of Australia plays a crucial role in this phenomenon. It comes from a weaker economy that is capturing market expectations and Australia having weaker currency. It is strongly suspected, that Australian is likely to cut interest rate which will further weakens the dollar. If cuts are made, it may extend the fall into 2025. https://moneyandinvesting.com.au/blog/why-the-australian-dollar-is-falling-and-what-it-means-for-you/ #AustralianDollar #USDollar #InterestRates #CurrencyExchange #Inflation #AustraliaEconomy

Australia's economic landscape in 2025 will continue to be shaped by the ongoing challenge of inflation and interest rates. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has remained steadfast in its mission to bring inflation back to target levels, resisting calls for premature rate cuts. However, there is a possibility that 2025 could mark the beginning of a gradual rate-cutting cycle. External factors may add complexity to this forecast. As Australia enters an election year, increased government spending could drive inflation higher, potentially delaying the timeline for sustained rate reductions. Households already grappling with mortgage stress and tighter budgets will likely face continued financial pressure, with consumer confidence and spending remaining subdued in the near term. https://telegra.ph/Australias-2025-Economic-Outlook-Opportunities--Challenges---Money-and-Investing-with-Andrew-Baxter-02-06 #AustraliaEconomy2025 #InterestRates #Inflation #RBA #EconomicOutlook #MortgageStress

The Future of the US Dollar: Trends, Drivers, and Global Impact - Money and Investing with Andrew Baxter Right now, the buzz is all about lower interest rates in the US. The Federal Reserve’s data, particularly the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and consumer spending figures, are pointing towards easing inflation. The smart money is betting on a rate cut as early as September, right before the election. Lower interest rates generally mean a weaker dollar. It’s Economics 101: when a country’s interest rates drop, the return on holding that currency becomes less attractive. Investors tend to sell off, seeking better returns elsewhere. So, expect the US dollar to soften if those rate cuts come through. https://moneyandinvesting.com.au/blog/the-future-of-the-us-dollar-trends-drivers-and-global-impact/ #AndrewBaxter #MoneyandInvesting #lowerinterestrates
