THE Australian dollar has slipped back below 78 US cents on the back of better-than-expected jobs figures out of the US.
At 0630 AEDT on Monday, the local currency was trading at 77.70 US cents, down from 78.41 cents on Friday.
And the Australian share market looks set to open slightly higher despite Wall Street losing ground after US stocks initially lifted on good jobs figures.
At 0645 AEDT on Monday, the March share price index futures contract was up six points at 5,758.

LONDON — Greece will have to leave the eurozone sooner or later, the former head of the United States central bank Alan Greenspan says.
