SYDNEY: The Australian dollar dipped a quarter of a US cent on Tuesday after the Reserve Bank of Australia said the currency remained uncomfortably high.

The Aussie dollar fell to $0.9478, down 0.3 percent on the day. It has gained 6 cents since late August.

The RBA kept rates on hold, as widely expected, at its monthly policy meeting.
