AUD/USD Rate

The AUD/USD figure is the European Central Bank's daily euro reference rate — one fixing per working day, shown with its reference date. It is a reference mid-rate, not a bid or ask you can deal on, and a fixing more than four days old is withheld rather than shown as current. It is for information only — use your broker's own prices before placing any trade.

Spreads are set by each broker and vary by account type and time of day: they are tightest during the London and New York sessions and widen sharply around major data releases and in the thin hours after the New York close. Compare the live spread on each broker's own platform before you trade.

On a standard contract of 100,000 units of AUD, one pip is worth $10.00, because AUD/USD is quoted in US dollars. Scale that down proportionally for mini and micro lots — a 0.01 lot position moves at one hundredth of that figure.

Sun 22:00 – Fri 22:00 GMT (continuous). Liquidity is not evenly distributed across those hours: expect the tightest spreads and the largest ranges when the primary session for this instrument overlaps with London or New York.

Swap rates are set by each broker and change with policy rates, so we do not publish a figure. Most brokers apply a triple charge on Wednesdays to cover the weekend; positive rates are credited and negative rates are debited. Check the contract specification on your broker's platform.
