According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australia Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for last quarter notched up significantly from the previous reading of -1.9% to 3.4%, exceeding the market forecast at -2.7%. The primary driver of the positive reading was mostly due to high consumer spending rate following Covid-19 lockdown restrictions was eased. Nonetheless, the gains experienced by the Australia Dollar was limited by diminishing risk appetite in the global market. Market participants remained concerns that the rising tensions between Russia-Ukraine as well as rate hike from Federal Reserve would likely to trigger turbulence in the global economy.
