Commodity currencies pull further ahead
The aussie is now almost up close to 1% against the dollar on the day, with the greenback losing ground as we get the European session going. EUR/USD is back up to test the 1.1700 handle, while AUD/USD and NZD/USD are up to session highs of 0.7635 and 0.7018 respectively.
It's been a quiet session with little to go on, but European traders are mainly agreeing with what they've seen in Asia earlier and are going with the flow.
