(VIANEWS) - AUD/USD rises half a percent to around 0.6440 as it prods the key upside hurdle after witnessing upbeat Australia Retail Sales. Adding strength to the Aussie pair's rebound could be China stimulus and the US Dollar's retreat ahead of this week's key inflation and employment data.
FXStreet reported that that said, Australia's seasonally adjusted Retail Sales for July rose to 0.5% MoM versus 0.3% expected and -0.8% prior.
However, late on Sunday, Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers flagged expectations of witnessing substantially weaker Australian growth due to higher interest rates from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and China's slowdown, which in turn prods the Aussie pair buyers.
AUD/USD (AUDUSD) has been up by 4.29% for the last 21 sessions. At 00:05 EST on Monday, 28 August, AUD/USD (AUDUSD) is $0.64.
