Fundamental Overview:
The Australian dollar slipped lower across the board despite the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) rate hike at the policy meeting.
The move was widely expected after Australia's inflation rose to a three-decade high last quarter.
The RBA raised the cash rate by a quarter percentage point to 3.60% in an attempt to control inflation running at three-decade highs.
The central bank said more work needs to be done to tackle inflation and warning of further tightening.
Australia rate futures are now pricing in RBA cash rate at 4.18%, down from 4.35% a week ago.
