SYDNEY: The Australian dollar was trying to extend its recent slow-motion rally on Tuesday, supported by flows out of the yen, while the New Zealand dollar remained hostage to a looming decision on interest rates at home.
The Aussie held at $0.6953, having edged up 0.2% overnight in its third straight session of modest gains. Support comes in at the recent three-month low of $0.6866, while a band of resistance lies at $0.6980/0.7000.
