Trading rule profits and the Australian dollar

Abstract

The efficiency of price determination in the Australian dollar (AUD) foreign currency market is of significant concern for national economic policy and well-being. This paper tests efficiency by assessing the profitability of technical trading rules applied to spot exchange rates. We show that trading-rule profits have tended to evaporate across the two decades since the floating of the exchange rate. As a check on the possible 'US dollar effect', we include three other major currencies in the analysis.
