The commodity currencies such as the Australian, the New Zealand and the Canadian dollars climbed against their major counterparts in early European deals on Thursday, as European shares rose amid positive earnings results and stronger-than-expected Chinese trade data for January.

Chinese exports grew 9.1 percent in January from a year earlier, surprising economists who had expected exports to shrink for the second month in a row. Imports declined 1.5 percent.

Investors focused on U.S.-China trade talks that kicked off in Beijing in a bid to de-escalate a tariff war ahead of a March 1 deadline for a deal.

A report from the South China Morning Post said Chinese President Xi Jinping would meet Washington's top trade envoys, including Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, in Beijing on Friday.

Oil prices rose on trade-deal optimism after U.S. President Donald Trump said talks were going "very well".

The aussie appreciated to a 3-day high of 0.9438 against the loonie, reversing from a low of 0.9391 hit at 5:00 pm ET. If the aussie rises further, 0.96 is possibly seen as its next resistance level.

Following a 2-day decline to 1.3269 at 5:30 pm ET, the loonie bounced off to 1.3229 against the greenback. Further uptrend may take the loonie to a resistance around the 1.30 area.
