AUD/USD

AUD/USD is a currency pair that is based on the value of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar, nicknamed ‘The Aussie’. The price of AUD/USD reflects how many USD (the quote currency) are needed to buy one AUD (the base currency). This forex pair represents two of the world’s most developed economies and is one of the most popularly traded pairs on a daily basis. As a ‘major cross’ it has one of our lowest margin rates for forex on our platform. The price of AUD/USD can be affected by high interest rates in Australia, and it often rises and falls along with the price of gold.
