AUD/USD (AUDUSD)
AUD/USD is the exchange rate between the Australian Dollar (AUD) and the US Dollar (USD): how many units of the US Dollar are needed to buy one unit of the Australian Dollar. AUDUSD is one of the majors: the US dollar is always one side of the quote.
The pair is driven mainly by monetary policy from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Federal Reserve (Fed), together with inflation, interest rates, labour-market data, GDP, commodity prices and overall risk sentiment. Because the US dollar is one side of the pair, liquidity is deep and spreads are usually tight, although the pair can still move sharply around central-bank decisions and inflation releases.

FAQ AUD/USD
What is AUD/USD?
AUD/USD, also written as AUDUSD, is the exchange rate between the Australian Dollar and the US Dollar — how many units of the US Dollar are needed to buy one Australian Dollar. It is one of the majors, so the US dollar is always one side of the quote.
Why does AUD/USD move?
The main long-term driver is the difference between the monetary policies of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Federal Reserve (Fed). In the short term the pair reacts to inflation, employment and GDP releases, commodity prices and global risk sentiment.
Why is the interest-rate differential important?
When one central bank keeps rates higher than the other, assets in that currency usually look more attractive and capital tends to move towards it. A widening differential typically supports the higher-yielding currency, while a narrowing one works against it.
When is the most active trading period?
Liquidity in AUD/USD is highest during the London–New York overlap, roughly 12:00–16:00 UTC, when spreads are usually tighter. Asian-session moves often react to data from Australia.
