The Australian dollar fell slightly against the greenback today after the release of mixed economic data.
The Australian Building Approvals rose by 7.6% last month, while Import Prices rose 0.4% lower than forecasts of 0.5%.
The US Federal Reserve cut yesterday the interest rate by a quarter-point to between 1.75% and 1.50% for the third time this year, and hinted that it will pause in the coming period.
RBA Gov, Philip Lowe, said the Australian rate should remain near low levels due to the lingering risks around the domestic and global economic scenes.
Lowe added that the Australian economy remains vulnerable to the global economic slowdown and the trade war, and interest will remain at low levels for a long time until the full employment rate and inflation target is met.
As of 15:45 GMT, AUD/USD fell by 0.1% to 0.6896, with an intraday high of 0.693 and a low of 0.6887.
