Will Australia End Up with a Hung Parliament?

Aussie not really affected in currency trading

There is some concern that the Australian dollar may be affected in forex trading by the expectation of a hung parliament. A clear majority does not appear to be emerging with the primary vote almost counted.

However, even so, it does not appear that a hung parliament would have much effect on the Aussie in currency trading on the FX market. Action Forex reports on expectations for fiscal policy:

In our opinion, the overall impact on the financial should be limited. Concerning fiscal policies, both parties promise a return to a budget surplus by FY13, elimination of net debts by 2020 and a return to a structural budget surplus of 1% of GDP in the long-term. On macro and monetary fronts, both support independence of the RBA, a floating exchange rate. While the newly elected Green Party member and other independent MPs will determine which party can form a government, they should not be able to influence policymaking.
