AUSSIE: AUD/USD last deals 6 pips better off at $0.6887. A minor uptick was

ahead of the 21-DMA, located a further 18 pips above. Bears eye the 100-HMA at
$0.6871 and a break here opens the lower 1.0% 10-DMA envelope at $0.6853.
- Meanwhile, AUD/NZD dropped on the release and last trades at NZ$1.0501, 26
