  • AUD/USD declined on Monday as demand for greenback increased as recent comments from Federal Reserve raised bets that Federal Reserve will hike interest rate in December.
     
  • San Francisco Fed President John Williams on Friday redoubled his call for raising rates soon, while New York Fed President William Dudley said on Oct. 19 that a rate hike was likely this year.
