- AUD and NZD are both lower, impacted by a stronger USD. Markets await the RBA rate announcement. There is seemingly little scope for anything in the way of notable developments at the upcoming RBA meeting, given the recent deluge of rhetoric from the RBA Governor.
- JPY has lost some ground, USD/JPY up 20 pips at 110.38. Data earlier in the session was broadly positive with labour cash earnings and real cash earnings both rising above estimates. Household spending fell more than expected though, despite encouraging retail sales data in the period.
