According to Markit, Australia Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) in September edged higher from the previous reading of 52 to 57.3. On the other hand, Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) in September edged higher from the previous reading of 42.9 to 44.9. Both data suggested a stronger economic momentum in Australia as easing of mobility restrictions in the country circumvent the fall in its activity and demand for the month of September. Nevertheless, the bullish momentum of Australian dollar was limited amid the hawkish stances from Fed. According to the Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, the tapering of asset purchase program will begin as soon as the next FOMC meeting in November. The Fed have also projected for a rate hike during early of year 2022. As of writing, the pair of AUD\/USD was down 0.11% to 0.7229.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, the crude oil price surged 0.2% to $72.36 per barrel as of writing amid bullish oil inventory data from the US.
