Currently, the EUR/AUD cross rallied to fresh one month highs at 1.4840 levels, gaining 2.10% on the day. The Australian dollar fell further against the single currency as fresh selling emerged in the European opening hours. 

The RBA cut its cash rate by 25 basis points to 2.25% for the first time since August 2013, joining the wave of action from central banks across the globe (ECB's QE, Bank of Canada rate cut) over the course of the last two weeks.
