18 September, OctaFX – After initially falling, the Australian dollar rose after positive housing data and the RBA minutes. The house price index for the second quarter was minus 0.7%, which was better than the expected minus 7.0%.
This rate was unchanged from the first quarter’s decline. The index measures the change in house prices in Australia’s eight capital cities. This year, a decline in house prices in Sydney and Melbourne has led to the index being in the negative territory. The AUS200 too rose after the data.
