The Invesco CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust (FXA) closed out 2025 with a notable bout of redemptions, recording outflows of $3.32 million on December 31, 2025. The move represents roughly 3.85% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management, which stand at $86.28 million, signaling that a meaningful slice of investors reduced exposure to the Australian dollar heading into the new year.
The related asset, FX:AUD-USD, is currently trading at 0.66735, up about 1.06% over the past three months. Despite this modest appreciation, suggesting a grinding recovery rather than a breakout rally, the short-term technical backdrop has turned constructive, with a 1-day signal flashing Buy. The combination of improving technicals and year-end withdrawals hints that some investors may be taking profits or repositioning portfolios on macro concerns rather than abandoning the currency outright.
FXA’s late-December outflow underscores how sensitive currency-linked ETFs remain to shifting expectations around interest rate paths in Australia versus the U.S., as well as broader risk sentiment. With the Aussie dollar edging higher but still far from prior cycle peaks, the coming months could test whether this pullback in ETF assets proves to be a temporary rebalancing or the start of a more cautious stance toward commodity-linked currencies.
