FXStreet (Mumbai) - The AUD/USD pair halted its corrective mode and jumped back into the bids, now extending the recent bullish run back onto 0.70 handle.
AUD/USD reverts to daily highs
Currently, the AUD/USD pair trades 0.15% higher at 0.7010, having found fresh bids near 0.6985 region. The AUD/USD pair resumes its upbeat momentum and gathers pace for the next leg higher, given the solid bounce in the Asian stocks, which triggered a renewed risk-on wave into markets.

While oil prices also appear to have regained lost momentum and now head towards $ 30 mark, after a brief halt seen earlier this session. Meanwhile the Aussie extends in winning streak into a fourth day today, heading for a retest of fresh one-week highs reached at 0.7021 at Tokyo open.
