Choppy session in NY to see the year out, still 8930 held well to see it back up here. Offers just above 90c still lurking, but AUD holding well over the last few days and think it will challenge the 9020 area. Look for immediate support at 8970 level this morning(21 day MA).

There has also been some re-positioning in EURAUD over the last week. Its been sold off since hitting the 1.6320 recent high, back down to the 1.5900 area. Watch the 1.5900 level, stops under there may see a spike higher in AUD.

AUDJPY buying out of Japan over the last 10 days has also helped underpin the AUD. Support at 83.00 as it looks to test 84.00-20.

We have Australian Dec PMI out at 2230 GMT.
