Bill Evans revised its AUD/USD forecast, now seeing 0.77 through June and 0.74 by year-end, down from 0.72 previously. The bank cites expected falls in commodity prices through 2018 and 2019 from slower Chinese shadow credit growth, and a widening rate differential with the US.
A forecast of weaker commodity prices implies downward pressure on Australian export values and grain and metals prices tied to Chinese demand, while a weaker AUD supports Australian exporters.
