# AUD/USD Forecast: 0.71 End-2026 Target - ING

> The Australian dollar recovered to about US$0.7018 after the Reserve Bank of Australia raised its cash rate by a quarter point to 4.85% in a divided 6-3 vote. ING still expects AUD/USD to reach 0.710 by end-2026, arguing that the currency's interest-rate return stays attractive even if tightening is over. Citi warns that weaker Chinese credit and a slowing Australian housing market could undermine the recovery.

## Why it matters

A firmer Aussie lowers the cost of Australian dollar-denominated imports and shifts the export competitiveness of Australian feed grains and barley relative to US supplies. Weaker Chinese credit and housing would reduce demand for Australian commodities.
