01:30 Australia RBA Meeting's Minutes

The euro gained for a second day against the yen as European finance officials meeting in Brussels endorsed a bailout for Portugal, boosting confidence the region’s debt crisis will be contained.
Europe’s common currency maintained yesterday’s advance against the greenback amid speculation the European Central Bank will add to last month’s interest-rate increase on signs of accelerating price pressures. 
Australia’s dollar rose against all 16 of its major counterparts after the Reserve Bank said it may need to raise borrowing costs “at some point” to slow inflation, minutes of its May 3 meeting showed.
The dollar gained the most in a week against the yen before a Fed report economists say will show industrial production increased in April for a sixth straight month. The U.S.’s industrial output rose 0.4 percent, after the previous month’s 0.8 percent expansion, according to a survey.

EUR/USD: the pair bargained within the limits of $1,4125-$ 1,4195.
