The Australian Dollar (AUD) halted its six-day losing streak on Monday, buoyed by a weaker US Dollar (USD) following the release of January's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data on Friday.
The report aligned with expectations, easing fears of unexpected inflation spikes in the US.
Australia's TD-MI Inflation Gauge fell by 0.2% month-over-month in February, reversing a 0.1% rise in January.
This marked the first decline since last August and followed the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) decision to cut its cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.1% during its first monetary policy meeting of the year, reflecting a continued slowdown in underlying inflation.
However, on an annual basis, the gauge rose by 2.2%, slightly below the previous 2.3% increase.
