AUD/USD is holding above key support at 0.6400 but faces near-term resistance between 0.6500-0.6540, BBH FX analysts report.

1Capex disappointment weighs, but AUD holds 0.6400

"Australia private new capital expenditure (capex) unexpectedly contracted over Q1. Capex fell -0.1% q/q (consensus: 0.5%) vs. 0.2% in 4Q (revised up from -0.2%) driven by a -1.3% q/q decline in equipment, plant and machinery."

"Encouragingly, the second estimate for planned capex for 2025-26 was up 6.7% to A$95.6bn from the first estimate. RBA cash rate futures continue to price-in a total of 75bps of cuts to a low of 3.10% in the next 12 months."

Micron Stock Hits Record High After Q3 Earnings: Can It Break the Memory Cycle?

TradingKey - Micron Technology (MU) released a blowout earnings report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, with revenue surging 346% year-over-year to $41.5 billion, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) reaching $25.11, and its gross margin jumping to 84.9%. All three core metrics set new historic records. The explosive growth in AI memory demand, combined with the implementation of 16 "take-or-pay" Strategic Customer Agreements (SCAs), not only drove a surge in single-quarter performance but also reshaped the company's business model. Following the earnings release, Micron's stock price surged nearly 16% in a single day to hit a new all-time high. Wall Street collectively raised their price targets, and the market generally believes that Micron is in a critical window of transition from a highly cyclical memory manufacturer to a core AI infrastructure asset.
