Australian Dollar Forecast: AUD/USD Falls to Fresh Yearly Low
Australian Dollar Outlook: AUD/USD
AUD/USD clears the August low (0.6349) to register a fresh yearly low (0.6337), and the exchange rate appears to be on track to test the November 2023 low (0.6318) as it carves a series of lower highs and lows.
Australian Dollar Forecast: AUD/USD Falls to Fresh Yearly Low

The comments suggest the RBA is getting closer to changing gears after keeping interest rates on hold throughout 2024, but data prints coming out of Australia may encourage Governor Michele Bullock and Co. to further combat inflation as the employment report is anticipated to show a resilient labor market.
Australia Economic Calendar
Australia is expected to add 25.0K jobs in November following the 15.9K expansion the month prior, and a positive development may generate a bullish reaction in the Australian Dollar as it raises the RBA’s scope to further combat inflation.
With that said, another rise in Australia Employment may curb the recent weakness in AUD/USD, but the exchange rate may attempt to test the November 2023 low (0.6318) should the bearish price series may persist.
