The Australian dollar has risen Thursday, buying 71.45 US cents from 71.38 US cents on Wednesday.
Yesterday, a rise in the kiwi has given a small lift to the Aussie dollar, which had lost ground overnight as a report of problems in Sino-US trade talks soured risk sentiment globally.
The local currency was last at 71.28 US cents, having fallen 0.4 per cent overnight to as far as 71.16 US cents.
