Testimony by the Fed Chair Powell: upbeat for the USD?
The head of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell will testify on the Semiannual Monetary Policy Report on Tuesday and Wednesday
How will the RBA affect the aussie?
The Reserve bank of Australia (RBA) will publish its statement and announce the official rate on September 3, at 7:30 MT time.
The market is assessing the chance of a rate cut during the upcoming meeting. Analysts are sure that the central bank of Australia will ease its monetary policy soon due to the global economic instability. However, not all of them expect September's meeting to be the crucial one for the RBA. Those who don't see a rate cut in September suggest waiting for more indicators and negative news. This data will help the policymakers of the bank to determine their next step. Others think that the Reserve bank of Australia should cut the rate immediately due to the global uncertainties. Anyway, the tone of the RBA Governor Philip Lowe will be in focus, as traders will be looking for hints on the future rate decisions.
• If the RBA is hawkish, the AUD will rise;
• If the RBA is dovish, the AUD will fall.
