The Fed rate decision gave markets little reason to press prices in either

direction Thursday, keeping Aussie 3-year bonds within the recent range and

providing few fresh technical signals. Focus remains on the recent lows as the

recent run-up to 99.395 now looks to be over. Prices continue to trade either

side of the 99.30 level at present, which has dented the outlook materially.

99.165 seen as the next key support.
