AUD/USD has risen to the aforementioned highs on a continuation of the bullish momentum in the aussie seen at the start of 2017, mirroring the end of 2016's resurgence. The data overnight wasn't kind to the bulls with a miss in Aussie retail sales, but the dollar just can't catch a prolonged bid and is soft across the board again as the US session gets going. China's CPI was also a miss last night and it all points to the possibility of the RBA needing to remain prepared to act sooner in 2017 - thus, the divergence between the Fed and RBA should come to the foreground again and help support the greenback.
