Samsung unveils sleek new Galaxy phones to take on Apple
By Se Young Lee and Harro Ten Wolde SEOUL/BARCELONA (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co Ltd unveiled its latest Galaxy S smartphones featuring a slim body made from aircraft-grade metal, in a bid to reclaim the throne of undisputed global smartphone leader from Apple Inc. Designed from scratch in an operation dubbed "Project Zero", the Galaxy S6 and its curved-edges variant are critical for Samsung's plans to reverse plunging smartphone revenues that led to its first annual earnings fall in three years in 2014. By some estimates, Apple surpassed Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone maker late last year, selling a record 74.5 million iPhones in the December quarter on the back of the success of its big-screen iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Samsung's previous flagship Galaxy S5 was outsold in its second full month of global sales by Apple's older iPhone 5S, according to researcher Counterpoint.

NZ dollar declines against Aussie ahead of RBA interest rate decision
The New Zealand dollar weakened against the Australian dollar as traders have already priced in an interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia today. In local trading today, all eyes will be on the RBA's interest rate decision after the central bank surprised some economists last month by cutting its benchmark rate to a record low 2.25 percent, saying weak domestic demand and tame inflation in the face of falling crude oil prices will keep output growth below trend for longer. "With the market now pricing around a 60 percent chance of a cut today, we are all but guaranteed a significant Australian dollar reaction whatever the RBA does," Bank of New Zealand senior market strategist Kymberly Martin said in a note. The BNZ's Martin said the cross-rate faces resistance at last month's record post-float high of 97.07 Australian cents.
