AUD/USD got close to 0.6315, a touch above overnight highs, before selling interest emerged. We have now settled back closer to 0.6295/00, just +0.10% firmer versus the NY close. The currency is benefiting from a firmer equity market backdrop though, with US futures up around 0.70-0.80% so far. The currency is outperforming most in the G10 space, although not by a large margin. The clear exception is NZD, the AUD/NZD cross got to a low of 1.1112, but is back around 1.1120 now.
