The A$  dollar, hit a new 25 year high against the Sterling and a record peak on the Euro, helping its rise even against a firmer U.S. Dollar.
 Against the Pound, the local unit was strong, hitting highs not seen since early 1985. The Sterling was hit hard last night by weak data, doubts around its sovereign rating, as well as credit ratings of its banks.
The Yen made gains overnight, amid Japanese repatriation flows, while the Euro continued to fall on concerns that peripheral Euro zone economies could face similar debt problems seen in Greece. 
Key data from Asia out today is China's trade data for February, with analysts forecasting close to a 40% rise in exports and imports. If this report disappoints, it may feed fears that China's economy is slowing on recent policy tightening.

Hail pelts fruit in the Goulburn Valley.
Freak storms have caused damage in Gippsland and the Goulburn Valley regions of Victoria, with fruit growers in particular suffering from the impact. Trees in the affected areas have been uprooted, with some fruit also impacted by large hailstones that fell during the storms.
"The hail that we have seen has physically taken chunks out of the fruit," said Andrew Plunkett, chairman of Fruit Growers Victoria. "There were reports of tennis ball-sized hail hitting tennis ball-sized apples.
Meanwhile, up to 30mm of rain fell in 30 minutes between Shepparton and Tocumwal on the Murray River.
