The Australian dollar is climbing ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia's Tuesday meeting.

The Aussie dollar is up by 0.4% at .7521 per US dollar as of 7:43 a.m. ET.

At Tuesday's meeting, the RBA is expected to hold its key rate at 1.50%. It's been on hold for nine months.

As for the rest of the world, it's pretty quiet out there as of 7:46 a.m. ET. Markets around much of the world are closed for May Day:

• The US dollar index is little changed at 99.10 ahead of several data points. Personal income and spending will be out at 8:30 a.m. ET, while Markit US manufacturing and ISM manufacturing will be out at 9:45 and 10 a.m. ET, respectively.
• The Japanese yen is down by 0.2% at 111.72 per dollar. Japan's manufacturing PMI came in at 52.7 for April, below expectations of 52.8, and below the prior reading of 52.8.
• Bitcoin touched a fresh all-time high. The cryptocurrency climbed above the $1,400 mark for the first time ever, but it has since pared those gains. As of 7:17 a.m. ET it trades up 4.1%, or $54.55, at $1,370 a coin.

NOW WATCH: People are outraged by a Pepsi ad starring Kendall Jenner — here's how the company responded

Bitcoin is at another fresh all-time high. Early buying ran the cryptocurrency above the $1,400 mark for the first time ever, but it has since pared those gains. As of 7:17 a.m. ET it trades up 4.1%, or $54.55, at $1,370 a coin.

Monday's advance comes with no specific catalyst, but has trade on track for its 10th gain in 11 sessions. Bitcoin has been moving higer over much of the past week following news that the US Securities and Exchange Commission will reconsider the Winklevoss ETF.

Back in March, the SEC rejected plans for two bitcoin ETFs, saying it "is disapproving this proposed rule change because it does not find the proposal to be consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act, which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices and to protect investors and the public interest."

Bitcoin has had a wild start to 2017. It gained 20% in the opening week of the year before crashing 35% on fears China would crack down on trading. Since then, it has rallied more than 80%, shrugging off the crack down in China, the SEC's rejection of two bitcoin ETFs, and fears developers could set up a "hard fork" that would split the cryptocurrency in two. 

Not all of the news surrounding bitcoin has been negative.

At the beginning of April, Japan's financial regulators said that bitcoin was now a legal payment method in the country, and days later Russia said it would consider bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in 2018.

Bitcoin has been the top-performing currency every year since 2010, aside from 2014. It's up about 44% so far this year.
