AUD/USD has extended gains into a second straight day, rising to a weekly high of 0.7455 and continues to trade nearby, up 0.87% on the day.
On the data front, US data came in mixed, with the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, core PCE price index at 0.9% YoY, well below Fed’s 2% target. Personal spending matched expectations, while the rise in personal income fell short of expectations.
