Looking at forex, the Aussie is currently buying 66 US cents.
In commodities, brent crude is at $81 dollars per barrel; gold is at $2,465 dolllars per ounce. Iron ore is at $98 dollars per tonne in Singapore and US natgas futures are at $2.16 per gigajoule. All of those prices are in the greenback.
That’s Market Open, I’m Jonathon Davidson, and we’ll be with you later in the trading day with an update.
