Some support for the AUD this morning due to:
- Market chatter of ‘risk-back-on’ now that the Fed-minutes induced sell off seems to have run its course
- A weekend newspaper report in Australia that the banks may cut mortgage interest rates, thus reducing the pressure on the RBA to cut rates. (Note the talk is of a 6 bp cut. Thats, ummm, not much. Every bit helps, of course, but it would save the average mortgage holder about $13 a month. I hope Glen Stevens can contain his euphoria.)
