Australian Dollar exchange rate today
The Australian dollar is a commodity currency: it follows the price of iron ore, coal and gold more closely than it follows Australian interest rates. Because China buys most of those exports, it is often traded as a proxy for Chinese growth.

Frequently asked questions
The top of this page shows the European Central Bank reference rate for the latest working day — how many Australian dollars one euro buys — with the date it was fixed. The table below gives the same rate inverted, so you can read it either way round, together with the change over the past twelve months against each of the other currencies we list.
Australia earns a large share of its export income from iron ore, coal and liquefied natural gas, and most of that cargo goes to Asia. When those prices rise, so does demand for Australian dollars to pay for it, and the currency tends to strengthen. It also makes the Australian dollar a proxy for Chinese industrial demand, which is why it often moves before Chinese data is even published.
The Reserve Bank of Australia sets the cash rate. Since 2024 its board has met eight times a year rather than monthly, and it publishes a statement with every decision. Rate differences matter for the currency because Australia has historically paid more than the euro area; when that gap widens, yield-seeking money flows in and the Australian dollar tends to firm.
The chart on this page covers twelve months of ECB reference rates, and the cards beneath it give the highest and lowest fix in that window with the dates they fell on, plus the change over the year. For a specific amount, the converter uses the same rate; for the Australian dollar against a currency other than the euro, use the cross-rate table.
