Canada Just Smoked The Aussie Dollar (AUD, USD)

The Australian dollar got killed against the greenback after the Bank of Canada announced a surprise interest rate cut.

Here’s the chart:

The trigger was an interest rate cut from the Bank of Canada, which took its key interest rate of 1% to 0.75%.

This has led to a rush to buyers for the US dollar and a big sell on the Aussie.

The Australian central bank is enthusiastic about a fall in the Australian dollar, with RBA governor Glenn Stevens last year saying 0.75 against the dollar would be a useful level.

On Wednesday, the Aussie dollar was trading near 0.81 against the dollar.
