What is the AUD/USD futures contract?

AUD/USD

Satellite of EUR/USD

A long means…

Exposure to a rise in the Australian dollar versus the US dollar — the same reading as spot AUD/USD.

What is this?

The Australian dollar is the G10 currency most tied to commodities: iron ore, coal, farm goods, largely exported to Asia and China. When global risk rises, or Chinese demand weakens, the AUD often falls against the dollar. The CME future reads like spot AUD/USD.

Importers, exporters and corporates hedge that rate; managers hedge an Australian portfolio or a global-risk exposure. At expiry, Australian dollars are delivered against US dollars. Most positions are closed or rolled beforehand.

Pitfalls

  • Long = long AUD, not long USD.
  • Not NZD (6N, 112741).
  • Not an Australian equity index.
