AUSTRALIA - The Australian and New Zealand dollars were looking to end a wild week with solid gains on Friday as U.S. recession worries waned for a moment, allowing risk assets to make a comeback.
An unexpectedly sharp drop in U.S. jobless claims was enough to see Wall Street bounce and the Nikkei extend its rally from Monday's dizzying decline, pulling the safe-haven yen down in the process.
That helped the Aussie steady at $0.6589 AUD=D3, giving it a gain of 1.2% for the week and putting it comfortably above Monday's $0.6349 low. A break of the 200-day moving average at $0.6598 would open the way for a return to $0.6705.
