Abstract:AUD/USD stays depressed around the intraday low even as China prints welcome inflation figures for December. China’s CPI grew 0.2% YoY, PPI recovered to -0.4% on yearly format. Risks dwindle mid virus woes, Sino-American tension and US stimulus hopes. A light calendar in Asia keeps risk catalysts on the driver’s seat.
AUD/USD ignores more than expected China inflation numbers while holding the lower ground near 0.7710, down 0.62% intraday, during Monday‘s Asian session. The reason for the quote’s latest weakness could be traced from the risk-off mood as well as the US dollars sustained recovery moves.
Chinas Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) for December crossed upbeat forecasts while flashing 0.2% and -0.4% YoY figures. It should be noted that the monthly CPI 0.7% versus 0.4% expected -0.6% prior.
