Aussie Dollar Falls as Economic Growth Slows; Bonds Gain

New Zealand’s dollar rose from a six-week low against its U.S. counterpart as stocks and commodities advanced amid optimism private bondholders will participate in Greece’s bailout.

The Australian dollar erased earlier losses against the greenback after a private report showed U.S. companies added more workers in February than the previous month. The Aussie’s gains were limited as a report showed the country’s economy grew slower than economists estimated. The kiwi’s rally from a six-week low comes before the central bank meets.
