The Australian dollar was sold down on 10 September 2014, reaching an intra-day low of $US0.9130. The currency had not fallen below $US0.92 since March, and the sell-down was prompted by factors such as growing expectations that interest rates in the US will be increased sooner rather than later. David Bassanese of BetaShares says a correction in the value of the dollar would have occurred earlier if interest rates had not been slashed in Europe and Japan recently
