Westpac Australia & NZ Weekly

Westpac
In this week's weekly, Chief Economist Bill Evans discusses the outlook for the AUD, re-affirming our call for the currency to retrace its recent gains and end the year circa USD0.68. Key to this forecast is a rate rise in the US in mid December, and a further deterioration in the iron ore price on increased supply and soft global demand. In the week ahead, we receive updates on consumer and business confidence; late in the week, the September labour force survey is due. (VIEW LINK)
