AUD holding onto gains despite miss on economic data

Retails sales came in slightly below expectations and job advertisements also fell from the previous month. Despite this, the AUD/USD is holding on to its gains from this morning and is still trading above .9600.

I’ve got no strong view on the AUD at current levels but as I said earlier, it does seem to be finding some support on the crosses with AUD/NZD the first one to break resistance levels.
