The Australian and New Zealand dollars held not far from six-month highs against the US dollar on Monday, still benefiting from improved global sentiment in the wake of the US Federal Reserve's aggressive stimulus plan launched last week.
The Aussie consolidated recent hefty gains at $1.0539, from $1.0545 in early trade. It exploded to $1.0625 on Friday, its highest in almost six months before it ran into heavy resistance. The New Zealand dollar marked time at $0.8284, from $0.8288 in New York on Friday, having risen to a six-month peak of $0.8354 late last week. Markets were bracing for current account and growth data this week.
