Jens Meyer quotes RBA governor Glenn Stevens:<\/p>\n

While the decision to keep rates unchanged was widely expected, analysts were speculating that the governor would show some concern about the recent steep rise in the Australian dollar’s exchange rate, which gained nearly 12 per cent from its January lows to a peak of US77.23\u00a2 last week.<\/p>\n

Mr Stevens duly added a paragraph to this month’s statement, noting that the currency had appreciated “somewhat”.<\/p>\n

“In part, this [the recent rise] reflects some increase in commodity prices, but monetary developments elsewhere in the world have also played a role,” he said, referring to recent monetary easing by other central banks including the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank, as well as the decision by the US Federal Reserve to reduce the pace of interest rate hikes.<\/p>\n

“Under present circumstances, an appreciating exchange rate could complicate the adjustment under way in the economy,” he added.<\/p>\n

But anyone hoping for a stronger “jawbone” was disappointed and the Australian dollar shot up by about half a cent to the day’s high of US76.32\u00a2, before falling back in late trade to around US76\u00a2.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Central banks around the globe are destabilizing financial markets and the RBA responds with a polite acknowledgement at the end of its statement. Someone please tell the governor: If you want to run with the big dogs, you’ve got to learn to pee high.<\/em><\/p>\n
