the exchange rate of AUD is influenced by the world economy at some extent. When the economy slow down, the demand for economy slow down as well. Then the price of the commodity drops as well，in turn reflecting in the price of AUD.

Based on recent trends, i think there's a fair chance AUD could drop slightly further, so it may drop another 2% in 6 weeks, but thats basic speculation.
