EUR/AUD: live price, payout and trading hours

EUR/AUD shows how many Australian dollars one euro buys: 1.64000 means 1 EUR = 1.64 AUD. The pip is 0.0001. It is a cross that pits a large, diversified economy against a commodity exporter, and that contrast explains most of its behaviour.

The Australian side carries the commodity and China story: iron ore, coal and gas exports, Chinese demand, and the Reserve Bank of Australia's rate decisions. The euro side brings ECB policy and euro-area data. When global growth worries rise, the aussie usually weakens more than the euro, so EUR/AUD often climbs during risk-off episodes and drifts lower when markets are upbeat. Australian employment and inflation reports, Chinese PMIs and trade data, and ECB meetings are the main scheduled catalysts.

The pair has two lively windows. The Asian session brings Australian and Chinese releases, and the London open adds European flows; the handover between the two is often when EUR/AUD moves most. By the late US afternoon, with Sydney not yet open and Europe gone home, it tends to go quiet.

EUR/AUD OTC, the second version on Sky Trade, is a separate generated series — produced by the server 24/7 and indifferent to Chinese data or the RBA.
