The Australian Dollar Faces a Week of Heavy Hitters
The Australian dollar has been steadily finding its feet since mid-October, helped along by a more hawkish turn from the RBA. Last week’s hotter-than-expected September CPI, coupled with Governor Bullock’s warning that upside inflation risks are starting to materialise, kept AUD/USD comfortably above 0.70, although the 50-day moving average around 0.7067 remained a firm ceiling. The Aussie has had a sleepy start to what could be a decisive week, with the RBA meeting and updated Statement on Monetary Policy, US mid-term elections and nonfarm payrolls all on the calendar.

Credit Chart Pack - October 2026
Credit Chart Pack - October 2026 - The geopolitical backdrop remained the dominant theme throughout October, with the Iran conflict continuing to intensify; energy markets repricing higher; French sovereign stress added to Euro volatility; and mounting AI capex scepticism weighed on US equity markets. Domestically, it was a quieter month for issuance across both corps and banks, however that may change with major bank earnings in focus this week.
