The advance in AUD/USD was driven by a broadly weaker dollar as the greenback declined versus all of its major counterparts today. The antipodean currencies led the gainer’s list, both posting a gain of roughly 0.6% against the dollar as of the European close.
The Australian dollar is the second best performing currency this week and remains the best performer for the month thus far. While the dollar shows some potential of turning higher in a broader recovery, AUD/USD will tend not to be a favored pair among dollar bulls as a result of the strength the currency has displayed as compared to its major counterparts.
