 SYDNEY: Australian stocks maintained their recent momentum by gaining about 1.7 percent on Monday amid continuing optimism that the eurozone will soon announce a workable solution to its debt crisis.

The commodities-linked Australian dollar was trading at 103.10 US cents late in the session, up from 102.23 cents on Friday.
