The AIG results from overnight will have the usual doom-and-gloom effect in Asia and risk aversion will be in full flight. Most of the action might again be focussed on the regional emerging currencies, some of which are trading at record lows against the USD.
The AUD will be volatile with retail sales and current account figures to be followed by the interest rate statement from the RBA. I expect the RBA not to move on rates this time but with more bad news in the financial markets overnight, they may still cut by 25bps.
Good luck today.
