Key Quotes

“The RBA is still at it with the central bank’s Edwards stating that pressure on the currency from interest rate reductions is a “good thing”.”

“Note however that RBA meeting minutes released early Tuesday quelled expectations for another cut in March, with the minutes revealing an internal debate on a cut either in February or March.”

“Expect markets to trade on a more supported tone in the near term within a broad 0.7630-0.7940 range pending further cues.”
