If you’ve been watching currency markets this week and wondering why the Australian dollar is suddenly the hottest currency on the board, you’re not alone. AUD has climbed to its highest level since June 2022, and it’s up more than 13% over the past 12 months. So, what’s driving the move? In short, several factors lined up at once.

If you are retired or getting close, you already know that a big yield number means nothing if the cash flow behind it is shaky — so let’s skip straight to the indicators that actually matter. Start with cash flow coverage, not accounting earnings, especially for real estate investment trusts (REITs).
