The AUDUSD opened higher at 0.7127, and the NZDUSD opened marginally higher at 0.6741 this morning.

The USD fell across the board overnight, nudging the NZDUSD higher, as recent strong economic data helped eased concerns about the global economy.

In addition, growth-oriented currencies such as the NZD & AUD received a boost after China said it would relax residency curbs in many of its smaller cities and increase infrastructure to boost economic growth. China also announced steps to support financing for small and medium-sized businesses.

The NZDAUD is trading just above 11-week lows of 0.9456 as the spectre of RBNZ interest rate cuts continues to weigh on the Kiwi.

Australian Home Loan data hit the wires at 12:30pm today.
