Australia's employment data are out today. Recent employment gains have been far beyond what leading indicators and an economy still growing below potential would suggest. 

As such, a correction is expected in April's numbers to the tune of -10k (consensus +4K) which would mean some downside for AUD after briefly breaking 0.8000 overnight.
