Market Reaction:
The Australian Dollar (AUD) reacts little to the comments and remains at the mercy of the US Dollar (USD) price dynamics, which continues to be underpinned by hawkish comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials. The AUD/USD pair was last seen trading around the 0.6440-0.6435 region, slightly lower for the second straight day, though remains confined in a familiar short-term range.
