Aussie 3yr futures faltered last week on the back of a hot CPI release, putting prices to the lowest levels of the week. The slippage comes following a solid YTD rally, which has provided a constructive backdrop for bulls. The bounce put prices above first key resistance at 96.958, with a close above this mark helping to shift the still-bearish backdrop. Any resumption lower would signal scope for weakness towards 96.070, the Sep 27 low on the continuation chart. This level is a key support and bear trigger.
