The AUD/USD exchange rate gapped upwards, reaching its highest point since February 2023 as investors dumped the US dollar and moved to gold and other assets. It surged to a high of 0.6925 as traders waited for the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision and Australian inflation data.
Extremely strong rises in Gold and Silver, driven partly by a lack of trust in US leadership and global monetary policies, are sending prices soaring to new all-time highs.
