Hello Traders! So, the Australian dollar (AUD) has gone down after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) made a decision about interest rates. However, Antje Praefcke, an FX Analyst at Commerzbank, thinks we should be careful about assuming that this means the end of interest rate hikes in Australia.
Basically, the RBA still seems to be planning to raise interest rates further, but they're going to be looking at economic data before they make any more decisions. The market reacted to the RBA's statement by selling AUD, but it's not necessarily a sign that the interest rate cycle is over.
Like in other countries, some prices are going down (like energy prices) but others (like services and wages) are still going up. So, the market is going to be paying close attention to economic data to see what the RBA will do next.
