AUSSIE: AUD/USD last sits at $0.7324, sticking to a 13 pip range in early
Asia-Pac dealing, after registering an uptick yesterday. 
- The rate posted a 30 pip knee-jerk spike Thursday after U.S. President Trump
said the U.S. is "close to doing something with China on trade", but the move
retraced immediately. 
- The subsequent release of FOMC meeting minutes provided a sustainable upside
boost, lifting the pair some 20 pips higher. 
- Bulls keep an eye on yesterday's high at $0.7344 and a break above that level
would open up the 50% fibo retracement of a move from $0.7677 to $0.7021 at
$0.7349. Meanwhile, bears look to a fall through Thursday's intraday lows of
$0.7295 before targeting the 21-DMA at $0.7252. 
- Australian calendar is rather light towards the end of the week, the Trump-Xi
meeting on the sidelines of weekend's G20 summit will garner attention.
