AUSSIE: AUD on the front foot post-RBA cut.
- This comes after the Bank fails to commit to further cuts, but such an
indication may be given in RBA Governor Lowe's evening speech in Sydney (as we
highlighted beforehand).
- To Summarise the RBA's concluding paragraph noted that "today's decision to
lower the cash rate will help
make further inroads into the spare capacity in the economy. It will assist with
faster progress in reducing unemployment and achieve more assured progress
towards the inflation target. The Board will continue to monitor developments in
the labour market closely and adjust monetary policy to support sustainable
growth in the economy and the achievement of the inflation target over time."
- AUD crosses remain range bound. AUD/USD last +0.10, back from the reaction
highs. Bulls look to clear the clustered $0.6996-.7008 resistance zone on a
closing basis, before looking higher
