Australian Dollar Jun '26 (A6M26)
Australian Dollar Futures Market News and Commentary
The dollar index (DXY00) on Friday gave up an early advance and finished little changed. The dollar was pressured on Friday after the University of Michigan’s May US consumer sentiment index was revised downward to a record low. Also, Friday’s rally in stocks curbed liquidity demand for the dollar. The dollar found early support on Friday from hawkish comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who said he supports a Fed rate increase if inflation doesn’t soon slow.
The University of Michigan’s May US consumer sentiment index was revised lower to a record low of 44.8 (data from 1978), weaker than expectations of no change at 48.2.
The University of Michigan’s US May 1-year inflation expectations rate was revised upward to a 9-month high of +4.8% from +4.5%, stronger than the +4.6% expected. Also, May 5-10 year inflation expectations rate was revised upward to a 7-month high of +3.9%, stronger than expectations of no change at +3.4%.
