Philip Wee at DBS Group Research points out that the Australian Dollar (AUD) has been a key beneficiary of the risk-on shift. AUD/USD broke above 0.72 after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) signalled a pause following three consecutive rate hikes. The report suggests markets may rotate into other high-beta pairs as investors seek carry and growth exposure.
Australian Dollar benefits from risk recovery
"The global currency market has exhibited a classic V-shaped sentiment shift over the US-Iran conflict that closed the Strait of Hormuz."
"Risk appetite returned, favouring commodity-linked and high-yield currencies, especially the AUD, KRW, and GBP."
"AUD/USD’s break above 0.72 yesterday was notable, especially after the Reserve Bank of Australia signalled a pause after its third consecutive rate hike on Tuesday."
"Markets may rotate to NZD/USD, which broke above its 0.5925 resistance, on expectations that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will follow the RBA’s lead and hike before the Fed later this month."
