well as an FT report stating that "a group of senators have written to Rick

- The rate was last seen at $0.7156, a dozen pips lower on the day.

- RBA's Harker told MNI today that "if the labour market remains strong, then

the next move is up rather than down, even though such a move may be some way

off," citing his personal view, which is out of sync with the broader stance of

the RBA board, after the formal adoption of a more balanced interest rate

- Bears need a break below the 21-DMA at $0.7151, which has limited losses

today. This would allow bears to target the 100-DMA at $0.7139. Meanwhile, bulls

look to return above the 100-DMA at $0.7163, followed by $0.7205, which

represents the 1.0% 10-DMA envelope.

- AU focus falls on the first round of Q4 GDP partials & global trade

developments, while Chinese PMI data will also provide some interest.
