The AUD/USD exchange rate was little changed on Wednesday as traders focused on next week's Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) interest rate decision and key statements from the Federal Reserve. It was trading at 0.6600, down from last week's high of 6706 Interest Rate Decision Ahead

The AUD/USD exchange rate wavered as market participants focused on some key economic numbers, which will have an impact on the next Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) interest rate decision.

A report released by S&P Global showed that the manufacturing and services sectors maintained their resilience in August. The manufacturing PMI slowed to 51.6, while the services one eased from 55.5 in August to 52.1 in September.

Consequently, the composite PMI slowed to 52.1 during the month. Still, the numbers mean that the sectors are expanding because they are above the expansion zone of 50.

Another report released on Wednesday showed that the monthly inflation rose slightly in August to 2.9% from the previous 2.8%.

The RBA will consider these numbers and the weak jobs data released last week when considering whether to cut interest rates next week. Analysts expect the bank to leave interest rates unchanged at 3.6% in this meeting.

There will be no major macro data from the United States on Wednesday. The next important catalyst for the pair will be Thursday's GDP data and Friday's Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) report.

While these numbers are important, their impact on the AUD/USD pair will be limited as the Fed is now focusing on the labor market. Traders will instead focus on next week's non-farm payrolls data, which will provide more information about what to expect in the last two meetings of the year.
