The Invesco CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust, ticker FXA, attracted $3,275,500 in net inflows on December 19, 2025, a move that lifted exposure to the Aussie dollar by roughly 3.85% of the fund’s $85.16 million in assets under management. The sizeable single-day allocation underscores renewed investor interest in higher-yielding currencies as markets reassess the trajectory of global interest rates.
The related asset, FX:AUD-USD, is currently trading at 0.66224 against the U.S. dollar, up about 0.61% over the past three months. The pair’s short-term outlook is reinforced by a 1-day technical signal of Buy, suggesting that momentum traders and macro funds may be leaning into the currency’s modest uptrend.
FXA’s latest inflows come as investors search for diversification away from the U.S. dollar amid shifting expectations around Federal Reserve and Reserve Bank of Australia policy. While the three-month appreciation in AUD-USD has been incremental rather than explosive, the combination of supportive technicals and carry potential appears sufficient to draw capital back into the ETF, especially from investors positioning for a softer dollar in 2026.
