AUD/USD fell hard on Monday as the commodity trade was hit fairly hard. The “risk off” trade came back into vogue during the session, and the afternoon in the US saw an acceleration of this move. The Aussie will often suffer at the hands of a “risk off” trade, and as a result it was no real surprise we saw this pair fall.
