Despite weak macro prints out of Australia, the Aussie held its ground as risk sentiment swung in its favour, buoyed by a softening greenback in response to deepening concerns around tariff-induced economic deceleration in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Asian stocks inch higher, Aussie dips as RBA cuts rates <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/p4cJ4QVgcL\">https:\/\/t.co\/p4cJ4QVgcL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/p4cJ4QVgcL\">https:\/\/t.co\/p4cJ4QVgcL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Reuters\/status\/1924719285265436983?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aussie rose <strong>0.5% overnight<\/strong>, largely mirroring the broader U.S. dollar selloff. Data out of the U.S. showed that the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z7oiA3Y09E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">services sector<\/a> contracted for the first time in nearly a year<\/strong>, while <strong>ADP private payrolls rose by only 152,000<\/strong>, well below the 173,000 consensus. Treasury yields dropped in response, pushing the dollar index to six-week lows and reigniting <strong>speculation of a Fed rate cut as soon as September<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This macro backdrop pushed traders out of the dollar and into higher-yielding risk currencies, lending broad support to the AUD despite local economic underperformance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Australian Macro Picture Still Fragile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the domestic front, fundamentals offer little reason for bullish enthusiasm. Wednesday\u2019s <strong>GDP data came in weaker than expected<\/strong>, and Thursday\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abs.gov.au\/statistics\/economy\/finance\/monthly-household-spending-indicator\/latest-release\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Household Spending Index<\/a><\/strong> showed only marginal growth for April. This, combined with earlier <strong>tepid retail sales<\/strong> and a soft <strong>trade surplus<\/strong> (driven by a fall in gold exports), painted a lacklustre picture for Q2 economic momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Markets are now <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SBGpHrYq8x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">pricing in a rate cut from the RBA as early as July<\/a><\/strong>, with the expected cycle bottoming at <strong>2.85%<\/strong> by early 2026. Although Australia\u2019s <strong>exports to China remain stable<\/strong>, they are not enough to offset the broader slowdown in household consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The momentum of the HSI in recent months continues to fade,&#8221; noted UBS economist George Tharenou, who added that \u201crisks of a July cut have increased materially.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Australian dollar climbed steadily off the 0.6445 low, peaking at 0.6509 before consolidating into a tighter range. Momentum peaked around the Asia-London crossover, supported by a bullish MACD crossover and consistent higher lows. However, since tagging resistance near 0.6510, price has flattened just below the 30-period MA and is now moving sideways, suggesting indecision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/image-4-1024x445.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23997\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picture: AUD\/USD stalls near 0.6510 after slow grind higher; momentum fades as price coils under resistance, as seen on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">VT Markets app<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MACD momentum has weakened, with the histogram near neutral and signal lines narrowing. Short-term moving averages (5 and 10) are clustering with price, pointing to a possible breakout\u2014or a fade\u2014depending on incoming catalysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediate resistance lies at 0.6509, with key support at 0.6480. A break above 0.6510 opens the path toward 0.6530, while a dip below 0.6480 may signal a return to 0.6460.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traders will now look to Friday\u2019s <strong>U.S. nonfarm payrolls<\/strong> for the next major catalyst. Any downside surprise may further depress the dollar and give the Aussie the boost needed to test the upper end of its range near <strong>0.6537<\/strong>.
