Will the Australian Dollar go up in 2021?
There are a few reasons that could have an influence on the Aussie:
- Coronavirus is controlled successfully with the use of a vaccine and good contact tracing methods to mitigate further outbreaks
- The Australian economy bounces back quickly and government has control of coronavirus, supporting domestic travel and the AUD
- The US economy falters, US political risks rise, and they continue printing money to stimulate its economy, so the USD falls
- China’s economic growth improves, raising demand for our commodities (and our Aussie dollar)
- Economic growth recovers quickly in most countries worldwide, as government stimulus continues to support economies
