The forex markets are rather subdued in today's Asian session, with major currency pairs and crosses largely trading within yesterday's ranges. Australian Dollar strengthened slightly, ignoring significantly weaker-than-anticipated job data. Instead, it's lifted by rebound in Asian stock markets and stabilizing risk sentiment. However, the momentum behind Aussie's rebound appears weak and limited, suggesting it may be merely in consolidation before another selloff.

Kiwi bears seemed to be lightening up their short positions in anticipation of RBNZ rate decision tomorrow, which is broadly expected to maintain interest rate at 5.50%. The market's recent aggressive speculation on an early rate cut by RBNZ is tempered by the likelihood that the central bank will resist such expectations. Any shift in stance is unlikely for tomorrow, and would be delayed until its next meeting in May, with a fresh set of economic projections as guidance.
