About the USD to AUD Exchange Rate

The US dollar to Australian dollar rate is closely tied to commodity prices — particularly iron ore, coal and liquefied natural gas, which are Australia's largest exports. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) interest rate decisions also have a significant impact. The AUD is sometimes called the "Aussie" in forex markets. Historically, 1 USD has bought between 1.30 and 1.60 AUD, though the rate changes daily with market conditions.
