:: Australian Dollar: With a severe lack of confidence that a Greek rescue package would eventuate commodities, in particular gold, were sold off aggressively during Friday's offshore session.

Today sees the release of February New Motor Vehicle sales ahead of what is a light week on the Australian economic calendar.
