AUD/USD climbs back above 0.7600

The Australian dollar is among the best performers of the day in an environment of a stronger greenback.

There is no first-tier data scheduled for today’s American session with most institutions closed for the Columbus Day holiday. In Australia, tomorrow’s releases include the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO), home loans and NAB business confidence.
