At the Asian session, RBA Governor Stevens said “Ahead of next week's meeting of the Reserve Bank Board; I have no comments to offer today on monetary policy. The problem must be acute in Europe, where sovereign yields in some countries are negative for significant durations. But it is also potentially a non-trivial issue in our own country. In a conference about wealth, this might be a worthy topic of discussion." The Conference Board Leading Economic Index for Australia increased 0.5 against 0.4% in the previous month.
