The Australian dollar is up 1.5% to $0.6430 and has broken above its 50-day moving average. The New Zealand dollar is not far behind with a 1.4% gain to $0.5892. The Bank of Japan will continue to dismantle its ultra-easy monetary policy next year, six sources familiar with the BOJ's thinking told Reuters, though the slow progress has been cold comfort for a yen weighed down by Japan's low interest rates.
