AUD/USD on the rise as copper prices bolster the Aussie

• Copper prices on the rise thanks to a flubbing USD, dragging the Aussie higher.
• The Greenback is seeing a bearish start to the week after Friday's NFP failed to generate Dollar confidence.

The AUD/USD is bumping higher in Monday's trading, currently sitting near 0.7460 as the Aussie gets a boost from rising copper prices against the US Dollar, which has hit the new trading week on the softer side after Friday's Non-Farm Payrolls showed sluggish wage growth despite a better-than-expected headline jobs figure. The receding USD is putting in a much-needed floor on copper prices, giving the AUD a knock-on lift.

The early week is thin on the economic calendar for the Aussie, and Tuesday will be seeing the low-tier National Australia Bank's Business Confidence (forecast 8, prev. 6) and Business Conditions (forecast 18, prev. 15) surveys for June at 01:30 GMT, while Monday's US session will be seeing May's Consumer Credit Change for the USD at 19:00 GMT (forecast $11.50 billion, prev. $9.26 billion.
