General presentation and functioning of EUR/AUD :
As the name suggests, the EUR/AUD represents the parity between the euro and the Australian dollar. More clearly, this means that this cross gives the exchange rate of the euro to Australian dollars and therefore expresses the value of one euro in Australian dollars.
The EUR/AUD is of course used in international trade between Australia and the Eurozone but is also used as a speculative asset in the foreign exchange market.
The exchange rate between the euro and the Australian dollar is quoted on the foreign exchange market and is highly volatile during the opening hours of the European and Australian financial markets, i.e. from 3.30 pm to 10 pm (Paris time) and from 1 am to 7 am (Paris time).
Between 4:30 pm and 10 pm, volatility is high because this period corresponds to the first hours of trading on the American stock market and the end of the European session. Investors are therefore numerous on the market and trading volumes are high.
As for the Australian stock exchange, based in Sydney, it is open during part of the French night like the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The trading volumes on the Australian dollar, the yen or the New Zealand dollar are indeed very high.
Of course, in the foreign exchange market, it is possible to take positions on this currency pair as well as on other currencies at any time, not only during the opening hours of these financial markets.
As we will see later, the price of this EUR/AUD currency pair is a function of supply and demand and therefore can be influenced by certain external factors or market psychology.
