Understanding Australian Dollar / US Dollar

AUD/USD — 'The Aussie' — is a commodity-correlated currency pair that moves closely with iron ore, gold and broader risk appetite. It's a liquid and widely traded major pair favoured by traders looking for clean technical setups outside of European trading hours.

The Aussie's correlation to commodity prices and its behaviour during the Asian and early London sessions offers diversification for traders beyond purely European pairs.
