The Dollar rose versus other major counterparts, while falling against the yen and Swiss franc, on renewed concern about the European financial system. Risk-aversion continued to dictate market direction, with the Yen touching a fresh 15-year low against the dollar of 83.41 after Japan's current account surplus widens more than expected as global demand increases. Meanwhile EUR slid from 1.2800 to 1.2682 on the defensive as scare over the euro zone banking system. The AUD was pushed lower on neutral comments from the RBA after they held at 4.5% and news emerged that Labor would be forming a new government along with its proposed mining tax. Elsewhere, Sterling was weaker against the greenback but made good gains against the souring Euro. Cable Found support at 1.5300 and bounced in the US session
