The aussie edged down to 1.1002 against the NZ dollar, from Tuesday's closing value of 1.1045. The next possible support level for the aussie is seen around the 1.11 region.

Against the euro and the yen, the aussie edged down to 1.6494 and 100.28 from an early 8-day highs of 1.6416 and 101.02, respectively. If the aussie extends its downtrend, it is likely to find support around 1.67 against the euro and 98.00 against the yen.

In the European session, U.S. MBA weekly mortgage approvals data, Canada Ivey PMI for October and U.S. EIA crude oil data are scheduled for release.
