AUSSIE: AUD/USD last trades at $0.6762, barely changed. The rate has oscillated
within a fairly tight range as investors have weighed Friday's BBG report

exchanges & Saturday's denial of the report by a U.S. Tsy official.
- Aforesaid BBG report dragged the rate offits intraday peak at $0.6779 in
Friday's NY trade after a weaker spell for USD drove a pre-WMR fix rally.
- Bears look for a slide under $0.6739/37, the low of Sep 25/76.4% retracement
of the Sep 3 - 12 rally. Bulls would be pleased by a jump above the
50-DMA/21-DMA at $0.6806/09.
- Tuesday's MonPol decision from the RBA headlines this week's docket in
Australia. See https://emedia.marketnews.com/RBA_Preview_Oct_2019.pdf for a
