the Australian dollar is slipping a little, down 15 or so points

We had some comments from Reserve Bank of Australia's Christopher Kent is Assistant Governor (Financial Markets) bemoaning the strong AUD

There is no fresh news hitting, just a bit of selling flowing through.

EUR, NZD, GBP and CHF all slightly lower against the USD in the past minutes, but AUD the biggest loser
