About EURAUD
The euro or EUR is the currency of the members of the European Union, whereas the Australian dollar or AUD is the currency of Australia. The EURAUD is a currency pair where the EUR is the base currency, and the AUD is the quoted currency, and it represents the number of AUD equal to one EUR.
What is Euro vs. Australian Dollar (EURAUD)?
Since the currency pair doesn't involve the US dollar, it's a cross-currency. Also, the pair has a negative correlation with the AUDUSD. It means that when the AUDUSD is trending upwards, the EURAUD is generally trending downwards, and vice versa.
The EURAUD pair is less heavily traded than other major currency pairs, such as EURUSD or USDJPY. It means that the difference between the bid and ask price, also known as the spread, can be more expansive. However, the spread can narrow during high trading volumes, making the trade more straightforward and cheaper.
The EUR is the second most traded currency in the forex market, the first being the USD. Whereas AUD doesn't fall in the list of most traded currencies, it still is a popular currency for traders inclined towards the commodity markets because Australia is a significant producer and exporter of iron ore, coal, and gold commodities.

How does EURAUD work?
The EURAUD exchange rate keeps on fluctuating due to several factors. Investors willing to learn how to trade EURAUD must keep tabs on economic data releases about a country's GDP, inflation, trade data, and employment. All these indicators have a significant impact on the EURAUD exchange rate. The European Central Bank (ECB) and the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) monetary policies also influence the EURAUD exchange rate.
Moreover, as Australia is a significant export of commodities, the value of AUD increases when its price increases. It has a negative impact on the exchange rate. Additionally, if geopolitical tensions and events such as elections, government policies, etc., cause uncertainty in the Eurozone or Australia, it increases volatility in the EURAUD pair.
In short, investors have to be aware of the trends in the forex market to save themselves from any loss.
