	Safe Haven \| Analyzing the Australian Dollar - Up, Down, and Under (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Australian dollar is the fifth-most-actively traded currency in foreign exchange markets today, behind the US dollar, Euro, Japanese yen, and British pound, accounting for 5.5% of the volume in the $1.9 trillion dollar per day market.
		The Aussie dollar is popular with currency traders due to a relative lack of central bank intervention, the general stability of the economy and government, and it lends greater exposure to Asian economies and the commodity super cycle.
		Here, the Australian dollar is saddled with a long string of trade deficits, and yet, appreciated against the Japanese yen, which enjoyed a trade surplus of 7.6 trillion yen ($64 billion), and an investment surplus of 11.4 trillion yen ($97 billion) in 2005.

	Australian dollar plunge an expression of global tendencies
		Last week's fall by the Australian dollar to a new record low of 47.75 cents against the US dollar has prompted further warnings in business and financial circles that Australia is “off the screen” as far as international investors and financial markets are concerned.
		The official line from the government and Australian financial authorities is that the “fundamentals” of the economy are sound, and that the fall in the dollar is largely a result of the strength of the US currency.
		Since January 2000, the Australian dollar has fallen 28 percent against the US dollar and 20 percent on a trade-weighted basis—putting paid to the claim that the fall is simply a result of the surging greenback.

		Using this theory, the Australian dollar at the present looks to be in a relatively strong position.

	Australian dollar in sharp decline
		The sharp drop in the value of the Australian dollar in currency markets last week has revealed a certain nervousness in financial circles that the “miracle” which has seen Australian economic growth rates matching those in the United States may be coming to a close.
		In an editorial last Friday, the Australian resumed the offensive, declaring that the sudden weakness of the dollar was a “wake-up call that should ring across the land, but sound loudest in Canberra.
		Recalling the dollar crisis of the mid-1980s, which was the signal by international money markets to the Hawke-Keating Labor government to initiate tariff cuts and sharp reductions in government spending, the editorial said the dollar slide contained a new lesson for the start of the 21st century.

	Australian dollar likely to track sideways - AMP Capital Investors - Forbes.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		SYDNEY (AFX) - The Australian dollar is likely to track sideways rather than fall further after touching 18-month lows this week as the New Zealand dollar slid to 22-month lows and Australia's interest rate differential narrowed, AMP Capital Investors said.
		Oliver noted some have argued the fall in the Australian dollar, at a time when commodity prices are still strong, suggests global growth is about to collapse and high commodity prices are living on borrowed time.
		Overall, he said, the recent weakness in the Australian dollar is unlikely to represent the start of a renewed downtrend.
