AUD/USD high marked 0.9095

FXStreet (Guatemala) - AUD/USD is continuing on the bid after it strengthened overnight following the release of the stronger than expected Australian retail sales.

Retail sales expanded robustly by 1.2%M/M in January providing further evidence that loose RBA monetary policy is helping to stimulate demand. The RBA’s monthly meeting was on Tuesday. There were no expectation for a change in policy, but language regarding FX was closely watched. Governor Stevens is speaking soon, where he will address parliament’s House of Representatives’ Standing Committee on Economics.
