AUSSIE: AUD/USD last trades at $0.7215, 18 pips higher on the day, as AUD drew
support from broader risk-on flows & fiscal stimulus in China overnight, also
worth noting that the PBoC pledged to be more flexible in the implementation of
its prudent MonPol. Meanwhile, the greenback fared rather badly, as little
suggests a breakthrough in the already record-long U.S. gov't shutdown any time
soon. 
- Initial topside focus falls on Monday's high of $0.7224 after the rate peaked
2 pips shy of the level in the Asia-Pacific session. A break above would open up
the Jan11 high of $0.7235. Conversely, bears look for a fall back below the
$0.7200 figure, which would allow them to target the 50-DMA & 55-DMA at $0.7187.
- Australian econ releases this week include Westpac consumer confidence due
Wednesday & domestic home loans due Thursday.
