AUD/USD has been subsequent of Trump's conciliatory acceptance speech that went a long way towards placating anxious markets who took encouragement and have subsequently focused on Trump's election policies of greater fiscal expansion (an infrastructure boom “second to none”) and less regulation, as explained by analysts at ANZ, adding, "The anticipated policy mix of less monetary stimulus/looser fiscal policy has superseded earlier anxiety and has supported a stronger dollar and higher bond yields. What the degree of stimulus will be remains unknown and markets will need clarification in order to propel them further on this theme."
