Explore the latest developments concerning Aussie dollar to.
The sudden surge in the Australian dollar above US71¢ is expected to continue for the next few months at least, but some strategists warn the rally could rapidly unwind as the US currency starts to reassert itself.
The Aussie dollar touched US71.47¢ on Thursday, its highest level since February 2023 and extending its rally already this year to a massive 7 per cent, buoyed by a weaker greenback and an interest rate increase by the Reserve Bank of Australia last week.

When Australians invest in global markets, they are essentially making two decisions at once. The first is an investment call on the underlying asset. The second, which is often overlooked, is a currency bet.
For many investors, it’s this hidden currency exposure that can come as a surprise. Movements in the Australian dollar can quietly add to or erode returns from international investments and have the potential to overwhelm the performance of the asset itself.
If the Australian dollar rises by 10 per cent against the US dollar, the value of that investment falls by roughly 10 per cent when converted back into Australian dollars, even if the underlying shares have not moved. The opposite is also true: if the Australian dollar falls, unhedged offshore investments receive a boost.

When Australians wake up to a new year, changes to government payments and policies will impact the finances of millions of households.
From Thursday, the maximum cost of medicines on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme will be slashed from $31.60 to $25 – the lowest the co-payment has been since 2004, saving Australians over $200 million each year.
The cost-of-living measure, which was announced by the Albanese government in July, kicks in at the same time as a number of support payments are automatically increased in line with indexation.
Changes include the Victorian government expanding land taxes and Queensland introducing a child sex offender register

LeBron James made his Los Angeles Lakers season debut last night, starting year 23 with a win over the Utah Jazz. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes discuss how impressive this was for LeBron, and how much pressure is on Patrick Mahome…
It’s evident that LeBron James isn’t the same player he was two years ago, let alone five years ago as he continues to try to find his place in the Los Angeles Lakers’ offense this season.
Former NBA player and head coach Sam Mitchell says one of the Los Angeles Lakers' big issues is LeBron James suffering from the "main character syndrome."
At 41 years old, in a couple of days, LeBron is the oldest player currently in the NBA. And although there is no doubt that he can still play at a high level, he is no longer the dominant player he once was and as such, is no longer the best player on his team.
The problem is, LeBron still thinks that he is the main man on the Lakers.
"This is what LeBron doesn't understand. It hasn't sunk in. Whatever team you go to, you're the third option. You're not going to a team when you're the first option anymore. If you went to the Washington Wizards, you would still not be the number one option," said Mitchell.
The Los Angeles Lakers looked like one of the best teams in the competitive Western Conference to kick off the 2025-26 season. Los Angeles got off to a sparkling 15-4 start, with prolific guards Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves both playing like superstars.
Now, Reaves is out of commission for — at minimum! — the next four weeks with a Grade 2 left gastrocnemius strain, per Mike Trudell of Lakers.com.
Austin Reaves has a grade 2 left gastrocnemius strain; he will be re-evaluated in about four weeks.Reaves missed three games with a left calf strain recently, returning for the game at PHX on Dec. 23, before leaving at halftime of the Christmas Day game.

While the superstar celebrates a historic Hot 100 feat, she adds to her chart-topping catalog with "In Your Feelings."
“All I Want for Christmas Is You” isn’t the only Mariah Carey song topping a Billboard chart this week.
As the diva’s holiday juggernaut, released in 1994, enjoys a record-setting 20th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Carey unwraps another chart-topper with her 2025 single “In Your Feelings,” which rises from the runner-up spot to crown the Adult R&B Airplay chart dated Dec. 27.
The track, released and promoted through MARIAH/gamma., ascends as the most-played on U.S. panel-contributing adult R&B radio stations for Dec. 12-18, according to Luminate. It improved 19% in plays compared to the previous week and wins the Greatest Gainer honor for the list’s largest increase.
Wham!'s 1984 hit, "Last Christmas", is No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart this week, closely followed by none other than Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You," which has been the No. 1 song on the weekly chart each December since it debuted on the list in 2020, according to Billboard.
"This is a remarkable moment for me, (Wham!), (George Michael) and (Sony Music UK), to learn that 'Last Christmas' is currently the world's favorite song," Wham! bandmember Andrew Ridgeley wrote in a Dec. 17 Instagram post. "(It) is the best Christmas gift we and George could ever have wished for."

Explore the latest developments concerning Major bank hit.
A routine midweek shop turned into an awkward scramble for cash on Wednesday after a widespread Westpac EFTPOS outage left thousands of Australians unable to tap their cards at the checkout. From suburban cafés to petrol stations and bottle-os, Westpac merchant terminals suddenly stopped playing ball just after lunchtime.
According to a report in news.com.au , more than 3,000 customers lodged outage reports not long after 12.30pm. A Westpac spokesperson said the bank was aware some customers were having trouble accessing services and insisted teams were working to restore systems “as quickly as possible”, apologising for the disruption.
A holding message on Westpac’s phone line went further, confirming “issues impacting merchant terminals” – a clear sign the problem sat squarely in the EFTPOS network rather than a complete banking blackout. Rival majors NAB and Commonwealth Bank said their systems were operating normally, underlining that this was a Westpac-specific headache.
