One notable aspect of the AUD is its strong correlation with commodities, as Australia is one of the largest exporters of natural resources, including iron ore and gold. Therefore, fluctuations in global commodity prices can significantly impact the value of the Australian Dollar.

AUD is widely used in international markets and can be traded freely. As a currency, it often serves as a benchmark for many other currencies in the Asia-Pacific region. The Reserve Bank of Australia is responsible for issuing the Australian Dollar and regulating its supply.
