The RBA has been happy to use the higher AUD as an inflation fighting tool but they will not want to see it galloping higher unopposed. My sources tell me that 1.05 is not seen as a particular problem but that if the AUD/USD continues with it’s present march higher and nears 1.10 in a hurry, we can expect the RBA to step in and ‘smooth’ the trend.
At present rate of knots, that could be sooner rather than later.
