Australian Dollar Rallies on Interest Rate Outlook

Once again interest rates are fueling a rally for the Aussie dollar as it happened in the second half of the last year, when the South Pacific currency ranked among the best performing options in foreign-exchange markets.
Positive employment data published in Australia this Wednesday is helping the Aussie to rally to high levels versus most of the main traded currencies, as a declining unemployment rate, currently at 5.5 percent and much better than other key-economic regions in the world, is fueling speculations that interest rates will be once again hiked in the country next month.
AUD/USD traded at 0.9315 as of 00:11 GMT from a previous intraday rate of 0.9241.
