<place w:st="on"><country-region w:st="on">New Zealand</country-region></place>’s inflation increased during the 4th quarter.  This is another sign that Governor Bollard will delay any rate cuts until possibly 2009.  The NZD strengthened initially, but sold off moments after the release.  <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Australia</place></country-region>’s employment numbers were released during the session.  Employment rose for a 14th month, this is the longest stretch of increases since 1980.  This stretch of increases may trigger the central bank to raise rates next month to curb inflation.                   RANGES      3:00 pm-11:00pm EST <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="MARGIN: auto auto auto 4.65pt;
