However, the central bank noted that considerable uncertainty remained about the strength of labour market conditions as employment growth has been concentrated in part-time jobs.

The pair is expected to find support at 0.7526, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 0.7493. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 0.7586, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 0.7613.

Going ahead, market participants would closely monitor a speech by RBA Governor, Philip Lowe, due in some time.

The currency pair is showing convergence with its 20 Hr and 50 Hr moving averages.
