Investing.com - The Australian dollar was steady against its U.S. counterpart on Monday, trading near three-year lows after the release of tepid Australian data as Friday's upbeat U.S. employment data continued to support demand for the greenback.
AUD/USD hit 0.9042 during late Asian trade, the session low; the pair subsequently consolidated at 0.9057, easing 0.03%.
The pair was likely to find support at 0.9038, the low of July 3 and a three-year low and resistance at 0.9179, the high of July 5.
Data showed that ANZ job advertizements fell 1.8% in June, after a 2.5% decline the previous month.
Meanwhile, the greenback remained supported after official data showed that the U.S. economy added 195,000 jobs in June, more than the 165,000 increase forecast by economists.
May's figure was revised up to 195,000 from a previously reported 175,000. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 7.6% in June.
The Aussie was also steady against the euro with EUR/AUD inching 0.05% lower, to hit 1.4156.
