AUD/USD Pip Value
AUD/USD pip value is exactly $10.00 per standard lot for USD-denominated accounts — identical to EUR/USD and GBP/USD. For akaun MYRs, multiply by the live USD/MYR rate.
| Lot Size | Pip value (USD) | Pip value (MYR @ 18.00) | 50-pip move (MYR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.01 | $0.10 | R1.80 | R90 |
| 0.10 | $1.00 | R18.00 | R900 |

AUD/USD and Malaysia
Australia and Malaysia share a commodity-linked economic structure — both are major mining exporters. AUD and MYR tend to move similarly against the USD in risk-off environments. SA traders sometimes trade AUD/USD as a "cleaner" proxy for commodity sentiment than USD/MYR, since AUD has tighter spreads and deeper liquidity. The RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) announces rates on the first Tuesday of each month — an important event for AUD pairs.
Trading Hours (SAST)
AUD/USD is most active during Sydney and Tokyo sessions (00:00–11:00 SAST) for the Australian/Asian economic data, and again during the London-NY overlap (14:00–18:00 SAST) for the most liquid trading conditions. Australian CPI and employment data (released ~02:30 SAST) are high-impact for AUD.
