AUSSIE: AUD/USD last trades at $0.7169, 4 pips worse off. Today's focus falls on
the latest RBA MonPol meeting minutes, due to be released at 0230BST/1130AEST.
- On Monday, the rate eventually returned to unchanged levels after sticking to
a relatively narrow $0.7164-$0.7186 range through the day.
- A dip through the down trendline from Dec 4, which comes today at $0.7165,
would open up the 100-HMA at $0.7156. Below here would bring the 100-DMA/200-HMA
at $0.7139/37 into play. Meanwhile, the initial topside attention is drawn to
the 200-DMA, located at $0.7193, just above Friday's peak.
- After today's RBA minutes, Australian focus will turn to domestic labour
market report, which comes out on Thursday. A batch of Chinese data, including
GDP, retail sales, industrial output and unemployment, will provide some
interest on Wednesday.
