AUD/USD
Referred to as a commodity currency, the Aussie has close correlation with commodity prices due to its traditional reliance on the trade of natural resources. Historically, yield differentials delivered strong demand for the Aussie Dollar through carry trades, making the Aussie Dollar a riskier asset. In recent years, record low interest rates has given the upper hand to the Greenback. While a commodity currency, the Aussie Dollar is also a proxy to the Chinese Yuan and sees material political and economic influence from China. The AUD/USD ranks as the 4th most liquid currency pairing, accounting for 6% of total transaction volume.
