Lowe highlighted the Fed-RBA policy divergence and noted that the RBA won't respond until there is evidence of pervasive price pressures.

On the other side, the Japanese yen remains sold-off after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) kept interest rates unchanged at -0.1%.

Also, the risk barometer continued its five-day winning streak on Tuesday aiding the broader sell-off in the haven Japanese yen.
