Australian dollar tilted higher in Asian trade off February 12 lows, ahead of speeches by Federal Reserve governors later today.
As of 02:58 GMT, AUD/USD rose 0.08% to 0.7098, with an intraday high at 0.7115, and a low at 0.7085.
Reserve Bank of Australia governor Philip Lowe pointed to RBA's economic forecasts, with growth expected at 3% in 2019, before dipping to 2% in 2020.
Lowe lauded the decrease in the unemployment rate to 5% last month, the lowest since 2011, as the labor sector continues to strengthen.
The Reserve Bank of Australia released the minutes of its last meeting, at which rates were held steady at 1.5% as expected.
The RBA believes rate expectations are mostly balanced, which was interpreted as caution and bearish by the market.
