Aussie 10y futures extended their bounce off cycle lows with a solid bounce last Friday. The rally puts prices around 40 ticks above the late December lows, but still short of the next material resistance at 96.714. For now, the bear leg remains in play and the recent continuation lower into end-2022 suggests scope for weakness near-term. An extension would expose the key support at 95.675, the Oct 24 low and 95.670, the Jun 17 low, on the continuation chart.
