AUD spikes, RBA remains neutral. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Australian dollar skyrocketed during mid-Asian trading session following the release of statement from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). As of writing, pair of AUD\/USD rose 0.65% to 0.7038. As widely expected, RBA kept their interest rate unchanged at 1.50% for 38th<\/sup> straight meeting, dialing down the expectation for a possible rate cut. In the statement, RBA remains neutral as they expect economic growth in Australia to remain resilient while being subjected to risks which are tilted to the downside. The central bank noted that growth in international trade has diminished and investment intentions have softened in several countries. However, RBA expects domestic growth to grow around 2.75% for 2019 and 2020 due to a pickup in infrastructure investment. Overall, the statement remains tilted towards neutral, confounding prior expectations for a possible dovishness and interest rate cut ahead from the central bank. Likewise, the Australian dollar received additional bullish support after Retail Sales for the month of March grew by 0.3%, cementing market sentiment for an eventual recovery in consumer spending.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities market, crude oil price depreciates by 0.40% to $62.30 per barrel. Oil prices came under pressure following concerns of escalating US-China trade dispute which may slowdown global economy and demand for crude oil. Otherwise, gold price appreciates by 0.19% to $1,282.92 a troy ounce due to rising trade war risks.<\/p>\n
