After recent sharp falls the $A may see a short-term bounce, but the broad trend is likely to remain down against the $US reflecting a rising $US generally, a secular downswing in commodity prices, overvaluation in terms of relative prices and monetary tightening in the US relative to Australia. So while the $A may consolidate into year end, it's expected to see another leg down next year taking it to around $US0.80.
