Australia’s resource-driven economy is heavily dependent on global growth and commodity prices. CME listed FX futures offer more precise risk management of AUD/USD exposure through firm pricing, convenient monthly and quarterly futures and weekly, monthly, and quarterly options, and flexibility to trade via a central limit order book, direct with blocks, or EFRPs.
