Greenback Has Started to Grow. Reserve Bank of Australia Has Kept the Interest Rate Unchanged

July 7, 2020

The US dollar has strengthened against a basket of world currencies. The dollar index (#DX) has updated local highs. Demand for risky assets has weakened amid new outbreaks of coronavirus disease. Investors are concerned about the possible return of restrictive measures. Optimistic economic releases from the USA have supported the greenback. In June, the ISM U.S. Purchasing Managers Index accelerated from 45.4 to 57.1.

The Reserve Bank of Australia, as expected, kept the basic parameters of monetary policy at the same level. The regulator confirmed its readiness to soften monetary policy if necessary. We also recommend paying attention to the speeches of FOMC representatives.

The black gold prices are consolidating. WTI crude oil futures are currently testing the $40.40 per barrel mark. Today, we recommend paying attention to weekly crude oil inventories in the USA according to API data.
