AUD Posts Weekly Gains with Help from RBA & Employment

The surprising decision of the Reserve Bank of Australia to keep its interest rates high and positive employment data allowed the Australian dollar to gain this week. Not everything was favorable for the currency and it slipped against the Japanese yen.
