THE Australian dollar is higher amid
upbeat sentiment on global markets after the European Central Bank
boosted its cash lifeline to Greece.
At 0630 AEST on Friday, the local currency was trading at 74.03 US cents, up from 73.81 cents on Thursday.
The ECB will tip an additional 900 million euros into the financial assistance that has kept Greek banks afloat, a move that comes after Athens passed a tough reform package demanded by creditors.
