The Australian dollar remained stable in Tuesday’s trading, holding its ground as the US dollar retained its strength ahead of the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes. The Aussie showed resilience despite the greenback gaining support from expectations of continued monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve.

Traders are anticipating the FOMC minutes for insights into the Fed’s interest rate trajectory, which has kept the US dollar elevated in global markets. A series of robust US economic data has reinforced speculation that rates may stay higher for longer, pressuring risk-sensitive currencies like the Australian dollar.

The Australian dollar’s performance also reflects cautious sentiment amid a lack of significant domestic catalysts. The Reserve Bank of Australia’s neutral stance on monetary policy has limited the currency’s ability to counteract the greenback’s strength, keeping movements subdued ahead of key US data.

Market analysts suggest the Aussie’s near-term trajectory will largely depend on the tone of the FOMC minutes and whether they align with expectations for prolonged rate hikes. Without significant surprises, the Australian dollar may continue its range-bound trading against the US dollar.
