AUD/USD consolidates at highs as advance loses momentum
AUD/USD extended gains to a fresh 7-week high, but the advance was moderate as appetite for risk lost some momentum on Tuesday.
However, the Aussie managed to shrugged-off the negative sentiment surrounding equities and rose for second day in a row versus the greenback toward a high of 0.7258, stalling a few pips shy of its 200-day SMA. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 0.7238, recording a 0.17% gain on the day.
