AUD/USD here is the price of one Australian dollar in US dollars, so a rise means the Australian dollar strengthened against the US dollar. The series is Yahoo Finance’s daily one for AUDUSD=X; currencies trade over the counter, with no central exchange, so this is one data provider’s quote, not an official reference rate such as a central bank’s daily fixing.
