There were no data releases from Australia this morning. Traders are still weighing in recent RBA rate decision. After Aussie initially went all the way to 0.77 it practically lost all of its gains indicating general weakness in the pair, however,
further fall in exchange rate is something that RBA is hoping for since this should help economic recovery, if it is to believe to Tuesday's statement. Though, RBA left
interest rates unchanged it did not exclude possibility of further reduction in the following meetings.
