Australian Dollar Jun '20 (A6M20)
Australian Dollar Futures Market News and Commentary
The dollar index (DXY00) is down by -0.02% today. The dollar index is under slight pressure as an easing of tensions in the Middle East has curbed safe-haven demand for the currency after the US and Iran held off attacks on one another for a third straight day. Also, today's -6% plunge in WTI crude oil has lowered inflation expectations and could prompt the Fed to pursue easier monetary policy, a negative factor for the dollar. In addition, weakness in T-note yields today has weakened the dollar's interest rate differentials.Â
