----------------------------(Nov 20)---------------------------

* Australian dollar offshore range $0.9133-0.9206.

* Aussie suffers biggest one-day fall in three weeks as

investors looked to lock in profits again from this year's

best-performing currency among the most actively traded ones.

* Aussie's decline also in part driven by some investors

taking profits in their short U.S. dollar positions, helping the

U.S. currency to rebound slightly.

* Aussie lost 1.1 percent to fall to $0.9194, from $0.9237

seen here late Thursday. That was the biggest one-day drop since

Oct. 30, leaving the Aussie well off a 15-month high of $0.9407

hit on Monday.

* Local dollar also dropped against the yen to 81.83 yen , from Thursday's 82.31. That was also the biggest daily

drop in three weeks.

* Investors appeared to be taking profits in other riskier

assets, from U.S. equities to oil and commodities.

* Profit taking and a slight recovery in the U.S. dollar also

kept gold prices from hitting yet another record high.

* U.S Treasuries benefitted from the declines in riskier

assets.

* Australian bond futures also indicated higher. Three-year

futures up 0.05 points at 95.13, and the ten-year

contract up 0.025 points at 94.595.

* Three- and ten-year Australian cash yields fell to

multi-week lows. Three-year yields fell as far as a

six-week low of 4.765 percent. Ten-year yields fell

as far as a five-week low of 5.435 percent.

* U.S. economic data overnight pointed to an economic

recovery but that did not stop investors from locking in gains.

Manufacturing activity in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region hit a

two-year high and claims for jobless aid were steady.
