Session Recap: Aussie back above 0.91; USD steady

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Another session with surprise for the Aussie, this time to the upside, as RBA deputy governor Lowe said yesterday's RBA Stevens comments were misinterpreted.

EUR/USD lost the 1.3000 support again trading as low as 1.2990 ahead of the ECB meeting, while GBP/USD eased to session lows at 1.5250. The USD/JPY was sold from session highs at 100.10 to session lows at 99.68 on the back of Yen strength and BoJ Kuroda's speech.

Local share markets posted mixed results with Japan and China losing some ground, while Australia, and Hong-Kong were the big winners. Gold and Oil remained flat ahead of US markets being closed for holiday this Thursday.
