ING Comments on Australian Dollar After The Central Bank's Policy Decision

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 09/30/25 12:26 PM EDT

12:26 PM EDT, 09/30/2025 (MT Newswires) -- ING continues to expect the Australian dollar (AUD) to maintain its good performance into a seasonally favorable Q4.

With the Reserve Bank of Australia now sounding more cautious on rate cuts, AUD can attract good buying flows until the data offers more clarity, wrote the bank in a note.

The RBA held the cash rate steady at 3.6% earlier Tuesday.

The stabilization in United States-China trade relations also underpins the bank's bullish AUD/USD call -- targeting 0.68 near term. But ING still sees good value for AUD against other commodity/high-beta currencies, thanks to lower exposure to oil prices compared to Canadian dollar (CAD or loonie) and krone (NOK) and the RBA's standout hawkish stance.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
