*Aussie opened in Asia toward the lower end of yesterday's $0.7845 to $0.7919
range, where broad-based US dollar strength and softer commodities (CRB -1.1%)
placed the antipodean on the defensive 
*Ahead of local data the Aussie consolidated between $0.7850-67 *The RBA minutes
passed without incident, the Reserve Bank remained with their broadly neutral
tone which had been confirmed earlier by their Statement of Monetary Policy
(SoMP) and Gov Lowe's testimony to Parliament. The risk-on theme did see the
Aussie climb from $0.7855 to $0.7877, but failure to break above hourly
resistance at $0.7880 saw the pair consolidate back around $0.7870 for the
balance of the session 
*US Retail Sales provides the next event risk, due at 1230GMT
