The commodity-linked currencies such as Australia, the New Zealand and the Canadian dollars weakened against their major currencies in the European session on Thursday, as the crude oil prices dropped giving up earlier gains on hopes that U.S.-Iran peace negotiations could resume.
Brent crude futures for August delivery were down 0.8 percent at $92.32 a barrel, reversing gains from earlier in the session after the U.S. military said that it had 'completed' its latest round of airstrikes targeting Iran. WTI crude futures fell half a percent to $89.54.
