06:00 Japan BOJ Governor Shirakawa Speaks

The euro fell versus the dollar and yen on speculation an economic slowdown in the region will pressure the European Central Bank to consider cutting interest rates.

The Australian dollar fell for a third day against its U.S. counterpart after the Reserve Bank cut interest rates for the first time in 2 1/2 years on signs global growth is moderating. The so-called Aussie declined against its 16 major peers after RBA Governor Glenn Stevens said inflation is close to the central bank’s target, adding to prospects policy makers may further reduce rates. Demand for the Australian and New Zealand dollars was limited after data showed manufacturing in China, the South Pacific nations’ major trading partner, slowed.
