AUSSIE: AUD/USD last $0.7175 after the release of the RBA Dec meeting minutes,
which pulled the rate just a couple of pips lower. The minutes struck a slightly
dovish tone & touched upon familiar themes, as policymakers highlighted downside
risks posed by low household income growth, high debt levels, and declining
housing prices. However, the Board agreed that the policy rate will stay
unchanged in the near term, with the next move likely to be a hike. 
- Key technical levels remain in play, as yesterday's low of $0.7169 remains
intact. Bears look for a fall through that level ahead of challenging the lower
Bollinger band (2%) at $0.7142. Conversely, bulls eye $0.7187, where the rate
peaked Monday, and a break above would open up $0.7196 representing the 50-DMA.
