Economic News: The Reserve Bank of Australia unexpectedly raised the country's benchmark interest rate, stating they felt it was safe to start cutting back on economic stimulus. This would normally be good news for Bonds because raising interest rates keeps inflation low. However, this caused pressure on the dollar, raising commodity prices and the Stock market.
Recommendation: FLOAT
