Forecast of Australian dollar future trend
The Australian dollar (AUD) is rising against a number of its peers this morning amid upbeat forecasts on the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) monetary policy outlook.
Australian wage growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 was slightly higher than market expectations, a surprise development that could give the RBA more room to maintain high interest rates for longer, without having to rush to cut rates. The Australian dollar has benefited from growth in recent sessions.
The Australian dollar performed well after the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reported wage growth of 0.9% in the fourth quarter of 2023, bringing the annual increase to 4.2%, beating market expectations of 4.1%.
Wage growth is falling short of the RBA’s target of returning inflation to 2.0%. However, policymakers will be pleased that Q4 growth slowed from Q3’s 1.3%.
“We still expect the RBA to hold rates at 4.35% until November,” said Catherine Birch, an economist at ANZ Bank. “A November rate cut would be a surprise to markets, which had been expecting a rate cut around June.”
If ANZ’s predictions are correct, the market price will have to adjust in the direction of strengthening the Australian dollar. After the release of the wage data, we saw the exchange rate of the Australian dollar adjusted up continuously, compared to the Vietnamese dong as well as other foreign currencies.
ANZ said the RBA would remain vigilant as economists there expect wage growth to remain above 4% per year in the first half of 2024, before tapering off in the second half.
The data also confirmed that annual real wage growth was positive for the first time since Q1 2021 (+0.1% year on year). Lower inflation, higher nominal wage growth and upcoming tax and interest rate cuts will support households into 2024, says Catherine Birch.
In addition, comments that the Australian economy remains resilient despite high interest rates have also added strength to the AUD exchange rate in recent sessions.
Ross McEwan, outgoing CEO of National Australia Bank Limited, offered an optimistic outlook for the Australian economy in a recent statement: “‘While economic growth has slowed, the Australian economy remains resilient and the majority of our customers are doing well. We remain optimistic about the outlook and our bank is in good shape as Andrew Irvine transitions to CEO in the coming months.”
Looking ahead, the latest preliminary Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) report from Australia is due to be released, with a forecast of a manufacturing PMI increase to 50.9 in February, which could underpin the Australian dollar. Similarly, the services PMI is also forecast to have increased activity this month, to 50.2. If the data comes in as expected, it could boost investor sentiment towards the Australian dollar.
