# The Australian dollar stakes its claim on higher levels  | Westpac IQ

> The Australian dollar rebounded from oversold levels last week, supported by stronger October CPI and Q3 capital expenditure data. A dovish comment from the New York Fed's Williams revived expectations of a December Fed rate cut, while the RBNZ delivered a hawkish cut. AUD started the week near 0.6540.

## Why it matters

A firmer AUD mainly reflects Australian rate expectations and US dollar weakness, with little direct effect on feed grain or meal prices. Feed buyers should treat it as background currency news.
