By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Nov. 4 - Royal Bank of Canada changed the Australian dollar vs. U.S. dollar initial exchange rate to 1.0326 from 0.9685 for its recently issued 0% currency-linked notes due Oct. 30, 2015, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On Oct. 27, RBC priced $1.47 million of currency-linked notes tied to the bullish performance of an equally weighted basket of the Brazilian real, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Norwegian krone relative to the U.S. dollar.
