The Aussie and the kiwi rose from one-week troughs, with the Aussie standing at $0.7680 and the kiwi at $0.7226.

The dollar dropped to 103.63 against the Japanese yen, while the Chinese yuan stood at a one-week high offshore.

The euro was steady at $1.2208 and the dollar index sat at 89.991 following a 0.5% drop on Tuesday. The pound hit a one-week peak of $1.3680.
