The Invesco CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust, ticker FXA, closed out 2025 with a notable outflow, as investors withdrew $3.32 million on December 31. The redemption represents roughly 3.85% of the fund’s latest assets under management, which stand at $86.28 million, marking a meaningful year-end adjustment in positioning toward the Australian dollar.
Such a sizable single-day outflow suggests that some investors are locking in modest FX gains or trimming risk ahead of 2026, even as the underlying currency has been relatively resilient. The related asset, FX:AUD-USD, is currently trading at $0.66735, up about 1.06% over the past three months—a mild appreciation that reflects a combination of shifting interest-rate expectations and global risk sentiment.
Despite the pullback in FXA flows, short-term technicals for the Aussie dollar remain constructive. The 1-day technical signal on AUD/USD screens as a Buy, indicating that chart-based indicators still favor near-term strength or at least stability in the pair. The divergence between a positive technical backdrop and negative ETF flows highlights how macro uncertainty, year-end portfolio rebalancing, or changing views on commodity-linked currencies can override short-term signals.
