• The Australian Dollar recovers its recent losses due to the hawkish RBA.
• Australia's 10-year government bond yield eased to near 4.66%, pulling back from a one-year high.
• The US Dollar may appreciate following hawkish comments from Fed officials.

The Australian Dollar (AUD) extends its gains for a second consecutive session on Monday, supported by hawkish comments from Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Michele Bullock last Thursday. Bullock emphasized that current interest rates are sufficiently restrictive and will remain unchanged until the central bank is confident about the inflation outlook.

Australia's 10-year government bond yield eased slightly to around 4.66%, retreating from a one-year high. Recent data indicated a slowdown in employment growth for October, while the unemployment rate held steady, highlighting the resilience of the labor market. Market focus now shifts to the release of the latest RBA meeting minutes on Tuesday, which could offer further insights into the central bank's policy stance.

The AUD/USD pair’s upside could be restrained as the US Dollar (USD) may continue to strengthen, driven by recent hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials and stronger-than-expected US economic data.
