Commodity prices underpinned in the new year
Private Chinese Manufacturing showing better picture than official

The Aussie is supported by higher commodity price on heightened geopolitical tension and "better" Chinese data, including domestic demand in traveling throughout the new year.
AUD/USD is trading 0.23% higher at 0.6827 as the sole winner within major peers against the USD.
