Version 13 months ago

What changed: Updated to include the breach of $0.7150 on March 11, 2026, and the surge in RBA rate hike expectations to 75%.

The AUD/USD pair extended its rally on March 11, 2026, breaking past $0.7150 and approaching its highest level in nearly three years. This significant momentum is driven by market expectations for a Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) rate hike, which have now surged to 75%. The currency's strength underscores the growing pressure on the RBA to tighten monetary policy in response to persistent inflation. Currently, the pair is testing critical resistance, with analysts suggesting that a sustained break above 0.72 could target the 0.80 level. Investors remain focused on upcoming economic indicators to gauge the durability of this multi-year peak. The hawkish shift in RBA sentiment remains the primary driver for the Australian Dollar's continued outperformance against the greenback.
