AUD/USD bought after not-so-dovish RBA

It's been almost two years since RBA last adjusted its cash rate. The rate remains at 1.50% after today's meeting and probably will for some time to come. Their outlook hasn't changed much. They're still expecting wages and inflation to pick up. Main risks being international trade wars, (lack of) domestic household consumption and debt levels. AUD/USD is up about 50 pips since the release, after not-so-dovish message by the bank.

The U.S. dollar part of equation is currently driving AUD/USD, which made a marginal new low shortly after Europe opened for business. Or for the observance of Labour Day, that is. The holiday is likely to keep price action contained until afternoon.
