Westpac on the Australian dollar in the wake of the Reserve Bank of Australia today. saying that as long as the USD dollar avoids a sharp reversal:

  • Aussie seems likely to keep running out of steam on probes above 0.7700
  • resilient global equity sentiment should see support return into the 0.7640 area near term

On the RBA:

  • We see a little more dovishness in the extra concern on household consumption and particularly the extra paragraph on inflation
  • RBA took note of strong jobs growth
  • GDP forecast unchanged and bullish
