Westpac says AUD/USD faces headwinds from a resilient US dollar, weak EM currencies, faltering commodity prices and higher volatility. It expects the Aussie could fall to 0.7250-0.7300, a level not seen since January 2017, even if the yuan stabilises.
Expected weakness in commodity prices alongside a falling Aussie signals softer Australian export values and tighter funding conditions for the Australian economy.
