Institutional Insights

  • Analysts at Credit Agricole note ‘While the Australian economy remains strong, the RBA believes it can be less aggressive than the Fed as Australia is not experiencing a wage-price spiral like the US. A falling Australian-US rate differential along with China’s weak growth will keep the AUD under downward pressure in the coming 3-6M. A soft economic landing locally and globally and recovery in China’s growth improve AUD/USD’s prospects from mid-2023 onward’

  • Analysts at Scotia Bank note ‘The CAD has underperformed somewhat versus most of its major currency peers this week, a pattern that has become common as Q4 has progressed.

CAD losses on some key crosses—EURCAD, GBPCAD, CADJPY—look poised to extend as the CAD continues to find it hard to move out of the USD’s broader shadow’
