The AUD/USD pair reversed its daily gains, falling 0.34% to trade around the 0.6960 level on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. FXStreet reported that the decline followed the release of higher-than-expected US inflation figures, which increased demand for the US Dollar.

Stronger inflation data bolstered the Greenback against major currencies, putting downward pressure on risk-sensitive assets including the Australian Dollar. This price action follows earlier data from October 13, 2026, which showed Australian NAB Business Confidence falling to -13, missing the forecast of -9.
