The Australian dollar, sometimes seen as a barometer of market players' risk appetite, tumbled 1.5 percent in Asia to a three-week low, below its 200-day moving average, as investors fret that the global economy will be dealt a severe blow if the euro zone's debt woes deepen. Interbank buy/sell rates for taka against dollar on Monday: 74.30/74.45 (previous 74.20-74.32) Call Money Rates: 6.50-10.00 percent (previous 6.00-12.00 percent).
