From Westpac’s Robert Rennie:
A$ ‘fair value’ midpoint at 0.61 which is fresh 19yr low, driven by sharp falls in Australian commodity export prices inc met coal down 26% in April; thermal coal down 22%.
This means above 0.6350, the A$ remains expensive to fair value for first time since April 2018. #ausbiz pic.twitter.com/NNTmlFg3qU
