AUD/USD rebounds toward 0.7100 despite mixed Aussie jobs data
AUD/USD has picked up fresh bids toward 0.7100 despite the release of mixed Australian employment data, which showed that the economy added 17.8K new jobs in January and the jobless rate held steady at 4.1%, compared to a rise to 4.2% expected. The data does little to temper bets for additional tightening by the RBA, supporting the Aussie. The US Dollar, on the other hand, preserves the overnight gains led by less dovish FOMC Minutes, which could cap the upside for the currency pair.

Meanwhile, the FOMC Minutes showed that Fed officials remain split over the necessity and timing of further rate cuts amid concerns about inflation, which acts as a tailwind for the US Dollar and should support the currency pair.
Gold yearns for acceptance above the $5,000 mark
