020 7898 0500The Australian dollar had a poor start to the week as it fell away from two-week highs against its US counterpart on Monday. This was largely due to Friday’s upbeat US data, which continued to strengthen the US currency’s position going into this week. The Aussie dollar was also lower against the euro, as the EUR/AUD rate dropped to 1.4542.

Markets have been hit by growing concerns over a possible Greek exit from the Eurozone, should the country have missed its most recent debt payment.
