AUD/USD: Waller Lift to 0.7200, Friday Asian Around 0.7210

AUD/USD trades at 0.7200, up 0.44%, on the Waller Thursday stamp. Soft USD after Waller’s hold-if-progress lean.

A separate Friday Asian body puts the pair around 0.7210, extending gains for a third successive day. The same Friday page’s chart line prints 0.7212.

RBA hike odds rose. The dollar softened on Waller.

The Friday page writes that robust Australian Q2 growth lifted RBA hike odds for this month to 58% from 49% before the GDP print, with a move to 4.60% by November fully priced. CME FedWatch on that page reprints 50.2% for a September Fed hike, down from 63.2%. Two forces: higher RBA odds plus softer Fed odds.

August US NFP is due later Friday. A hot US labour print that re-prices Fed hike odds higher is the falsifier for this Aussie bid.
