The Australian Dollar started the week strongly as hopes that the lockdowns implemented by global governments were having a positive impact and reduced demand for the safe-haven US Dollar.
However, a gloomy global growth outlook from the IMF and plummeting oil prices knocked the ‘Aussie’ back as the week continued.
The Australian Dollar recorded notable losses against the US Dollar, Pound and Euro, despite Australia’s better-than-expected employment data.
However, AUD exchange rates staged a rebound before the weekend, with the currency jumping against its rivals ahead of the release of China’s latest growth data.
