0155 GMT [Dow Jones] AUD/USD hit an intraday low of 0.9266 after weak domestic building approvals data cast doubt on the strength of economic recovery. Building approvals fell 3.5% in March versus an expected 2% rise. This is the fifth monthly fall in the past half year and suggests housing construction continues to languish despite record-low interest rates. But at the same time, policy makers are worried about house prices running too hot, leading to risky investment that could derail a fragile economic recovery. AUD/USD last 0.9276.(david.rogers@wsj.com; Twitter: @DRWSJ)
