AUD/USD rallied after the Reserve Bank of Australia held the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2%. The pair opened in Asia at 0.7606 and edged up slightly throughout the session before surging to 0.7691 post-RBA. The RBA however left the door open for more rate cuts but data is dependent.

USD/JPY rose up another leg up to break the 125.00 level and hit a fresh 12-year high of 125.04 in late Asian session trading.

EUR/USD traded a range between 1.0915-35. The market is waiting for news out of a summit last night in Berlin to discuss about Greece.
