- Wall Street edged sharply higher, keeping commodity-linked currencies up.
- Gold surged to a fresh weekly high of $1,643, retreated ahead of the close.
- AUD/USD at its highest in over a week near 0.6100.
The AUD/USD pair is ending the day with gains around 0.6080, a fresh weekly high, underpinned by rallying equities and a weaker dollar in the last trading session of the day. The pair recovered from an early low of 0.5869, a result of the dismal mood that led markets throughout the first half of the day. Additional support came from gold, as the bright metal resumed its advance to trade as high as $1,643 a troy ounce. The commodity, however, eased ahead of the close amid Wall Street’s persistent strength. Australia won’t release relevant data this Friday.
