The AUD\/USD pair<\/a> trades slightly higher at 0.6215 in the Asian session on Friday but remains under pressure due to fresh tariff threats from US President Trump. Market participants continue to anticipate a dovish shift from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) in February, adding to the Aussie\u2019s downside risks.\u00a0<\/p>\n Trump reaffirmed plans to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, fueling safe-haven demand for the US Dollar and claiming to plan to impose 100% tariffs on BRICS nations if they try to replace the US Dollar (USD) with a new currency in international trade. Trump posted on TruthSocial: \u201cWe are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile countries that they will neither create a new BRICS currency, nor back any other currency to replace the mighty US Dollar or, they will face 100% tariff,<\/p>\n On the data front, the US Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index<\/a> rose 0.2% month-on-month as expected, while annual core PCE remained unchanged at 2.8%. Fed<\/a> officials, including Governor Michelle Bowman, warned of lingering upside inflation risks, reinforcing expectations that rate cuts could be delayed.<\/p>\n In Australia, the latest data reinforced expectations that the RBA will pivot to policy easing. Q4 inflation figures came in lower than anticipated, with trimmed mean CPI easing to 3.2%, below the RBA\u2019s previous forecast of 3.4%. Traders now fully price in a 25-basis-point rate cut at the February meeting.<\/p>\n AUD\/USD remains range-bound, lacking strong directional momentum.
