  • Australian Dollar rises amid a US Dollar loses ground on lower Treasury yields.
  • Australian equity market experiences gains; supporting the Aussie Dollar.
  • Greenback struggles with the expectation of the Fed initiating a rate cut cycle starting in June.

The Australian Dollar (AUD) extends its gains for the second successive session on Tuesday. The decline in the US Dollar (USD) helps to support the AUD/USD pair. However, the AUD faced slight downward pressure following the release of the Westpac Consumer Confidence data from Australia, which dipped 1.8% to 84.4 in March 2024 from February's 86.0, easing from 20-month highs.

The Australian equity market found support from expectations of a rate cut, driven by a decline in the Aussie consumer confidence, contributing to the strength of the Australian Dollar. Despite modest weakness on Wall Street overnight, the ASX 200 Index extended its winning streak. Investors are anticipated to closely monitor the release of the Australian monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on Wednesday.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) experienced a second consecutive day of losses, largely attributed to declining US Treasury yields. Market sentiment is leaning towards expectations of the Federal Reserve (Fed) commencing an easing cycle, with speculations pointing towards a potential start in June.
