The Australian dollar was kept to an exceptionally tight range.

What is a 'tight range'

Generally, if an exchange rate is in a tight range, it's price movement both up and down has been minimal. In this case, the Australian dollar exchange rate traded between 0.6840 and 0.6855 (or 0.0015). This is considered relatively tight because in 24 hours, the AUD/USD exchange rate usually moves between half and one cent (0.0050 to 0.0100) .
