The Australian dollar is higher, boosted by a positive consumer confidence report.

At 0630 AEDT, the local unit was trading at 93.29 US cents, up from 93.05 cents on Wednesday.

Consumer sentiment increased by 1.9% to 110.3 points in November, from 108.3 in October, according to the Westpac Melbourne Institute Index of Consumer Sentiment.
