> The Australian dollar weakened against the US dollar on Friday, erasing the prior session's gains. Investors reacted to a 25% US auto import tariff signed by Trump and to reciprocal tariffs planned for April 2. A Reuters poll showed economists expect the RBA to hold its cash rate at 4.10% in April.
