Reserve Bank of Australia has scheduled to release key interest rate decision along with policy statement at 0330 GMT/0900 IST. Short term interest rates are the paramount factor in currency valuation – traders look at most other indicators merely to predict how rates will change in the future. Since March 2020, RBA has kept key cash rate steady at 0.25 pct. This time also market has predicted stable cash rate but focus turns on the tone of the policy statement. Will it be hawkish or dovish? On the basis of the future expectations, Aussie will react quickly against major peers.
