Stocks bounce, Aussie dollar hit by ratings blow

By Wayne Cole SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asian share markets crept ahead on Thursday after upbeat U.S. economic data took some of the sting out of the latest Brexit scare, while the Australian dollar briefly dipped as the country's triple A credit rating came under threat. U.S. S&P futures were little changed. The Aussie initially fell half a U.S. cent to $0.7470 after Standard and Poor's cut the country's outlook to negative from stable, citing a need for fiscal repair.
