AUD/NZD continues to trade just south of the 1.0600 level as the Antipodean trade back into resistance from November's swing lows.

The pair saw a rapid decline sparked by last week's risk-run in broader markets, torpedoing the Aussie to 1.0167 before the broader market saw a stable recovery, sending the beleaguered Kiwi back into familiar lows.

Market data for both pairs is relatively thin this week, though Aussie Retail Sales figures managed to stage a surprise to the upside early Friday, giving the Aussie hope for a lift heading into the weekend.
