AUD/USD bounces-off 5-week lows, recovers to 0.7750
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Australian dollar rebounded from fresh five week lows versus its US counterpart in the mid-Asian trades, lifting AUD/USD to the mid points of 0.77 handle. The Aussie erased losses and regained ground somewhat after the US dollar took a breather in its upsurge following a raft of robust US fundamentals released on Tuesday.
AUD/USD rises from 0.7726
Currently, the AUD/USD pair trades 0.12% higher at 0.7747, hovering close to fresh session highs of 0.7754, recovering from 0.7726 fresh five week lows. AUD/USD recovered slightly and turned positive mainly driven by a profit-booking rally after traders preferred to lock-in gains on their USD longs after traders saw convincing signs of US economy gathering pace yesterday.
