Aussie Rates Tick Higher

From John Russell, About.com GuideMarch 2, 2010

Follow me on:

The Bank of Australia raised the interest rate on the Australian Dollar  from 3.75 to 4.0 percent.

The increase was a bit of a surprise after the previous meeting’s statement. There was a significant bounce in the AUD when the announcement was made, but nothing range breaking.

The Australian Dollar has been on a solid uptrend for the past month. It appears to be taking a break, but with rate hikes coming steady, it isn’t likely that a fall will come any time soon without some type of large shock.

It appears for all intents and purposes that the recovery in Australia is real.
