Despite Monday’s early gains, a bearish short-term tone in AUDUSD remains intact. The recent breach of the 50-day EMA undermines a recent bullish theme. This has exposed the next key support at 0.6440, the Oct 14 low. Key resistance and a short-term bull trigger is at 0.6618, the Oct 29 high. Initial resistance to monitor is at 0.6537, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of the average would strengthen a bullish case.       

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the federal government posted a $219B deficit in October, vs just over $258B a year earlier. This would still be one of the bigger October deficit in recent years but regarding that $39B Y/Y decrease: revenues were up $75B vs a year earlier, "driven by larger collections of individual income and payroll taxes and by increased customs duties", and while outlays were up $37B that was due to a timing shift without which outlays would have decreased (not increased) by $70B vs Oct 2024.

• Overall accounting for timing changes in this first month of the fiscal year, "the decrease in the deficit for October also would have been larger— $145 billion rather than $39 billion. CBO estimates that outlays were smaller than a year ago in part because of the lapse in discretionary appropriations that began on October 1, 2025."
• As such the imminent reopening of the government will probably mean that outlays ramp up shortly to make up for lost ground.
• We should also note that CBO - whose estimates are usually quite accurate - undershot the actual September surplus by $34B, which it attributes to the lack of full data in shutdown: "Because data were not available from many agencies during the lapse in funding, CBO’s estimate of September spending did not account for certain transactions with the Treasury, a number of which were recorded as offsetting receipts."
• Treasury is due to publish its October estimates on Thursday but it's unclear whether it will produce a report even if the shutdown is resolved by then.
