EURAUD Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis involves analysing economic data such as inflation numbers, employment figures, interest rates and more. These data points are watched by central bank members who use them to learn more about the health of the economy and to adjust their monetary policy.
As central banks increase and decrease interest rates to keep inflation in check (as they are mandated to do so), it can have a huge effect on the flows of a currency.
For example, both the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) started to increase interest rates in 2022. However, the RBA increased rates several times by 0.25% which was much more modest than the ECB which increased interest rates several times by 0.75%.
This led to a surge higher in the EURAUD exchange rate as investors were able to receive a higher rate of return on their capital when parked in the EU. Interest rates have a huge impact on the overall direction of a currency pair.
