Overview and Dynamics
Against the backdrop of the weakening of the US currency after the first debate between the candidates in the US presidential pair AUD / USD rose on Tuesday during Asian session. It seems that prevailed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, Republican Donald Trump lost. According to some economists, in case of victory Trump dollar for 12 months would increase by over 10%. During the election campaign in the United States Trump promised tax cuts to companies that could support the growth of the economy and the US dollar.
A weaker dollar leads to an increase in commodity prices, including oil and metals. And it supports the commodity currencies, including the Australian dollar. Oil and gas and mining and processing are the main sector in the Australian economy, and liquefied natural gas and iron ore - one of the main export commodities. Therefore, fluctuations in the price of these commodities significantly affect the quotations of Australian currency.

It is widely expected that the upcoming meeting will be signed any agreement because of the continuing struggle between the world's largest oil producers for their share of the oil market. However, the intrigue about the outcome of the OPEC meeting is saved, and it will support oil prices.
Today at 20:30 the American Petroleum Institute (API) will publish its report on the change in US oil inventories last week. In the US stocks fell sharply last week, which also contributed to higher oil prices.
