AUS/USD - ...... Aussie trades near Asian high of 0.7213 after RBAQ stood pat in its rate decision. Reuters reported earlier Australia's central bank kept its cash rate steady at a record low of 2.0 percent on Tuesday, but said subdued inflation meant there might be room for a further easing if needed to support the economy.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) disappointed some by not cutting straight away at its monthly policy meeting, though the shift to an explicit easing bias kept alive the prospect of a move at some stage.

In a brief statement, RBA Governor Glenn Stevens said the outlook for the economy had actually "firmed a little" in recent months with business conditions improving and employment stronger than expected.

"(Board) Members also observed that the outlook for inflation may afford scope for further easing of policy, should that be appropriate to lend support to demand," he added.

Debt markets seemed to suggest investors were not counting on the RBA cutting by year end. Interbank futures for December slid to imply around a 36 percent chance of an easing, from above 70 percent earlier in the day. A drop to 1.75 percent is fully priced in by April.

Since last easing in May, RBA officials have sounded reluctant to cut even further in part for fear of inflating a debt-driven bubble in home prices.

There have also been hopeful signs of a pick up in non-mining investment with business conditions, confidence and borrowing all improving.

Yet, speculation about a cut had mounted after Australia's major banks last month decided to lift mortgage rates in an effort to shield profits from rising regulatory costs.

A surprisingly low reading on price pressures out last week had added to the talk. Underlying inflation slowed to an annual 2.15 percent in the third quarter, near the floor of the RBA's long-term target band of 2 to 3 percent.

With the broader economy still weighed by falling mining investment and weak commodity prices, some analysts had argued an easing would be warranted in the next few months.

EUR/USD - 1.0947

Despite the single currency's strong rebound from last Wednesday's low at 1.0896 to as high as 1.1073 last Friday, subsequent sharp retreat to 1.0936 yesterday strongly suggests the correction is over and consolidation with downside bias would be seen, below 1.0925 would confirm this view and yield resumption of recent erratic downtrend for a re-test of said support, break would extend towards 1.0867/70 before prospect of a recovery later this week.

On the upside, only above resistance at 1.1030 would indicate the pullback from 1.1073 has ended and turn outlook bullish for a re-test of 1.1073, break, 1.1096.

EUR/USD- ........ Despite gaining respite in Asia and staged a minor recovery to 1.0877 after yesterday's selloff to a 3-month trough of 1.0844 in New York, the pair came under renewed selling pressure as euro bears gave the single currency a fresh bashing on downbeat German data at European open.

Reuters reported German industrial orders dropped unexpectedly in September, the third consecutive monthly fall, due mainly to weaker foreign demand, data showed on Thursday, in a sign that Europe's biggest economy may loose steam at the end of this year.

Contracts for 'Made in Germany' goods were down by 1.7% on the month, the economy ministry said. That compared with a Reuters consensus forecast for a rise of 1.0%.

German factories received 2.4% fewer bookings from abroad, driven by a 6.7% slide in demand from euro zone countries, while domestic orders fell by 0.6%.

The data for August was confirmed as a 1.8% fall.

"Overall, the industrial orders are currently in a weak phase," the ministry said.

News from Reuters, on ECB's SMETS comments:

-Sees risk that inflation expectations become unanchored.

-Governing council will make fresh assessment of the situation at next meeting.

-All options open to ECB, could adjust scope, make-up and term of bond purchases.

USD/JPY - 121.62

The greenback's rally to 121.72 in New York morning yesterday on upbeat U.S. economic data together with hawkish comments from Fed's Yellen and intra-day breach of this level signals recent erratic upmove has resumed and consolidation with upside bias remains for further gain towards 122.15/20, however, loss of momentum would prevent strong gain above there and yield a much-needed correction later.

On the downside, only a daily close below 121.00 would indicate a temporary top has been made and turn outlook bearish for a stronger retracement to 120.50/60.
