AUD/NZD posts fresh session highs, RBA in focus
FXStreet (Mumbai) - AUD/NZD extended gains for the third straight session as the Aussie outperformed its Oz counterpart ahead of Reserve Bank of Australia’s official cash rate announcement due tomorrow.
Currently, the AUD/NZD pair trades at fresh session highs at 1.073- levels, recording a 0.32% gain on the day.
