    AUD responds to weak trade surplus:


    Aussie Reverses Gains as October Trade Data Misses All Estimates

    Australia Oct. Trade Surplus A$105m; Est. A$1.4b

    (Bloomberg) --

    Australian Bureau of Statistics report shows Thursday.

    • Exports fell 3% from month earlier

    • Imports rose 2% from month earlier

    • Sept. trade balance revised to A$1.6b surplus from originally reported A$1.75b surplus


    This follows yesterday's weak GDP, which could stoke speculation that the RBA may revise near-term growth forecasts downward.


    Support levels: 0.7533 (1mth low), 0.75 (psych), 0.74 (psych), 0.7345 (6mth low)
