updates: The Pound to Australian Dollar (GBP/AUD) exchange rate shot higher at the start of Tuesday’s session, striking a new one-week high in the process. The Australian Dollar (AUD) came under significant selling pressure during Tuesday’s Asian trading session, following the publication of Australia’s latest retail sales figures. According to data published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), sales growth contracted by 0.4% in March, falling from a downwardly revised 0.2% expansion and missing forecasts it would hold at this level. The ABS attributed the slowdown to a sense of cautiousness among consumers, with most households reigning in their spending amid ongoing cost pressures. The report also highlighted the temporary nature of February’s boost, after the ‘Taylor Swift-inspired boost’ for clothing, footwear, and personal accessories evaporated. However, helping to limit the Australian Dollar’s losses was a statement from China’s Politburo, in which the country’s top leadership claimed that they will ‘implement prudent monetary policy, proactive fiscal policy’. Concerns over the state of China’s economy have acted as a key headwind for the ‘Aussie’ in recent months, as a slowdown in Australia’s largest trading partner could have large knock-on effects on its own economy. News that Beijing may take more proactive measures in shoring up support for China’s economy is therefore welcome news to AUD investors. While the GBP/AUD exchange rate jumped due to disappointing Australian retail sales, the Pound struggled to replicate this success against its other peers on Tuesday. This came amid ongoing political uncertainty in the UK. As the country prepares to hold local elections on Thursday, there is growing speculation over when Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will call a general election. A poor performance by the Conservatives could force Sunak’s hand if he is to stave off a potential challenge to his leadership of the party. At the same time, speculation over when the Bank of England (BoE) might begin cutting interest rates also tempered Sterling sentiment on Tuesday. Looking ahead, the Pound to AUD exchange rate may maintain a positive trajectory through the middle of the week if risk sentiment remains weak. Investors are likely to remain cautious ahead of the latest interest rate decision by the US Federal Reserve on Wednesday. The Fed is expected to leave interest rates on hold, while its outlook on monetary policy is likely to be more hawkish, in light of recent US economic data. This may reinforce expectations that the Fed will now only deliver a single interest rate cut in 2024, strengthening the US Dollar (USD) at the expense of currencies like the Australian Dollar (AUD). Meanwhile, the Pound could come under pressure if the UK’s latest manufacturing PMI confirms UK factory sector growth contracted in April.
