The rating is unchanged at AAA from Standard and Poors

AUD is up a tic or so on the news. Not much in it.

Often when there is a ratings action we hear the old 'weren't these the guys that ...' in the GFC. You know the drill. They'll never live that down the poor buggers. LOL.

I prefer the talk back radio plonkers, they have Australia rated at 'going to hell in a handbasket'. So much entertainment. LOL.
