The AUD/USD pair trades on a stronger note near 0.6675 during the early Asian session on Monday.
AUD/USD extends the rally around 0.6675 in Monday’s early Asian session. The US Core PCE inflation rose 2.6% YoY in May, compared to 2.6% in April. The stubborn inflation in Australia pushed back the expectation that the RBA would cut rates, boosting the Aussie. The growing speculation that theUS Federal Reserve would cut interestrates in 2024 weighs on the Greenback across the board. Inflation in the United States eased to its lowest annual rate in more than three years.
The US inflation report indicated a slow downward trend in consumer price growth in the US, triggering the chance of a Fed rate cut later this year. This, in turn, exerts some selling pressure on the US Dollar and acts as a headwind for AUD/USD. Investors are now pricing in 53% odds that the Fed will cut rates in the September meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
