The Australian Dollar (AUDUSD) is a popular commodity currency, closely tied to gold and iron ore prices. Known as the "Aussie", it offers unique trading opportunities linked to China's economic health and risk sentiment globally.
AUDUSD is heavily correlated with commodity prices, especially gold and iron ore. When gold rises, AUDUSD typically follows. It's also sensitive to Chinese economic data since Australia exports mainly to China. Trading during the Asian session (Sydney/Tokyo) offers the best liquidity for this pair.
