New standard for Aussie exchange rate

The Australian Foreign Exchange Committee and the Australian Financial Markets Association have announced a new method and timing for calculation of the Australian dollar reference rate.

WM Reuters, an independent provider of foreign exchange rates, has provided access to its hourly calculations of reference rates for global currencies.

The WM Reuters Australian Fix 10am rate will replace the Hedge Settlement Rate, which was published each morning at 9.45 am Sydney time.
