The AUD slipped lower again in the market upon the news release of the AAA rating from S&P global. The Australian government is currently facing a budget deficit problem in their economy and this is a serious economic condition. According to leading economic researchers, the AUD might also significantly weaken in the near-term future if things turn negative.
Most importantly a budget deficits problem always create longer term impact in the economy and a recovery from this factor is a very complex and slow process. The overall fiscal spending in the country for mid-June is lower and it exceeded 2.1% of the gross domestic product.

Read this Term industry. When the Japanese economy runs in the market the AUD always struggles to hold its firm gain in the market.
On Tuesday, Japan is going to have its monetary policy meeting and investors will be cautiously observing to extract information in order to find a clear clue about the next move of the country.
If Japan holds its ground firmly in the economic sector then we will see a large drop in the AUD in the near-term future since trade balance data directly affects the Aussie's economic performance. However, the AUD gained some bullish power in last Friday's trading session as the greenback slipped lower against its all major rivals in the country. Though the mighty USD became slightly weaker the dollar index still holds a 14 year high in the global market.

Most traders are also worrying about the ongoing strength of the USD. Some leading investors are also thinking that the market has absorbed all the fundamental news releases of the US economy. Most importantly the FED needs three rate hikes in the next year to retain the ongoing strength of the USD.
Tall Task?
Three consecutive rate hikes in a single year will be extremely difficult for the Fed since the US needs to exhibit strong economic performance in every sector. A single weak data point in any of the financial sectors put the strength of the dollar at risk.
There are many important economic events in the upcoming week for the AUD and if all the data comes in favor of the AUD then the currency could go for a bullish retracement in the upcoming week. However, most of the major currency pair will exhibit low volatility during the remaining part of the year due to the Christmas holiday.
Most of the big investors are now out of the market and playing safe with their hard earned profits. If the dollar continues to behave like this in the near future then we will be seeing a large decline in the Aussie dollar. In the eyes of trained professionals, there is a higher chance that the AUD will again slip lower in the market and resume its bearish trend in the market.
However, those who are trying to enter long in this pair should wait for negative US economic news releases. The dollar needs to step aside for AUD buyers to step in.
Investors and hedge firm are now waiting patiently to enter short into this pair with the bearish retracement. But since there will no volatility in the market in the remaining part of this year it's better to stay on the sidelines and wait for the beginning of next year.
