The Australian dollar strengthened against the yen, US dollar, euro, Canadian dollar and NZ dollar in European trading on Wednesday, reaching a 6-day high against the yen and a 2-day high against the US dollar. The move recovered from early lows near three-week and seven-month levels against several currencies.
A firmer aussie against the US dollar and commodity-linked currencies signals a modestly weaker dollar backdrop, which can support dollar-denominated commodity prices. The move is a routine currency wrap with no new fundamental cause.
