The Australian dollar rose 0.2% to $0.7019 and the New Zealand dollar gained 0.4% to $0.5642 after the Democratic midterm sweep lifted equities and weakened the US dollar. Oil prices fell nearly 9% as fears of an imminent attack on Iran faded, and the RBA had raised rates for the fifth time this year.
Lower oil and a weaker dollar reduce input costs and can lift dollar-priced commodity demand from Australia and New Zealand. The move is mainly a currency and risk-sentiment update rather than a direct supply change.
