AUSSIE: AUD/USD has struggled thus far, even as it draws support from the

AUD/NZD cross on the back of the dovish RBNZ, as AU yields/bill yields have

edged lower on spill over from the goings on across the Tasman, which is

limiting the AUD elsewhere.

- AUD/USD last 5 pips or so lower at $0.7425, this comes after the pair

rebounded sharply from the Wednesday's lows of $0.7383. The bounce has put the

focus back on the $0.7440 highs of Tuesday (which was tested on Wednesday). A

break above $0.7440 is needed to repair the technical damage caused to the

bullish picture over the past couple of days. Further layers of resistance are

placed at $0.7466/86 and a move above here would confirm the bullish trend.

Bears now look for a close below $0.7380/85 to re-test major trendline support

at $0.7324 for confirmation and challenge the YTD low at $0.7311.

- Focus is on the RBA's SOMP, due tomorrow, although Gov. Lowe likely revealed

the key tweaks to the forecasts in his address yesterday.
