----------------------------(Dec 7)----------------------------
* Aussie offshore trading range $0.9109-0.9290.
* Aussie hurt by a rebound in the U.S. dollar after a much better-than-expected U.S. jobs report bolstered hopes the world's top economy was healing, and that U.S. interest rates may rise sooner than initially thought.
* Aussie down at $0.9141, after testing support around $0.9105. It had traded at $0.9232 here late Friday. Next resistance level around $0.9165.
* The U.S. economy only shed 11,000 jobs in November, well below the 130,000 loss markets had braced for. The unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 10.0 percent, from 10.2 percent the previous month.
* That helped the U.S. dollar post its best performance against a basket of currencies in nearly a year, breaking up out of a six-month downtrend channel.
* As a result, the yen got slugged and fell below 90 yen for the first time in four weeks. That helped the Aussie rise against the weaker Japanese currency to 82.61 yen, from Friday's 81.39. Next resistance around 84.30.
* ANZ newspaper and Internet job ads for November due at 0030 GMT and it will be closely watched ahead of the monthly official employment data due later in the week.
* Employment has been strong in the past two months, encouraging the central bank to increase interest rates for the third straight month in December.
* Aussie bond futures sharply lower, tracking losses in U.S. Treasuries. The strong U.S. jobs report had pushed yields to three-week highs.
* Three-year bond futures indicated down 0.09 points at 95.15, and the ten-year contract indicated 0.075 points lower at 94.535.
