Currencies
For much of the week the Australian dollar was trading five cents weaker at around A$2.45/£ whilst the New Zealand dollar was trading four cents weaker at about NZ$2.75/£.
Background
Many European companies remain on holiday resulting in very limited enquiry. European mills begin starting up again next week.
