Australian Dollar: The Australian Dollar opens higher today at 0.9120 against the greenback. As expected, the US Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged at the current setting of zero to 0.25 per cent. The Aussie moved to an offshore high at time of writing of 0.9143. During the domestic session on Wednesday, the unit slid down to 0.8970 as retail trade fell 0.2 per cent in September. The disappointing number does not support the case for a third consecutive hike in interest rates by the Reserve Bank of Australia in December. It turned out a knee-jerk reaction as the unit bounced back and spent most of the local session above US90 cents.
