Aussie slips as risk appetite dwindles.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During late Asian session, the Australian dollar which traded against the greenback and other currency pairs have fell amid dwindling risk appetite due to equity restriction and U.S-China tension. On data front, Australia\u2019s PPI have improved by 0.5%, better than previous reading of 0.4%. However, the data failed to excite the buyers. Following Gamestop saga, various broking houses have stopped offering some of those equities for trading while the US House Financial Services Committee is up for hearing on short selling and online trading platforms. Equity restrictions for retail traders have affect sentiment off-late which also weigh on the risk. On top of that, tensions between U.S and China also added extra burden for the sentiment. US secretary of state says U.S will stand with Southeast Asian allies in the face of pressure from Beijing in South China Sea. At the time of writing, AUD\/USD fell 0.29% to $0.7654.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price remains pressured and fell 0.16% to $52.30 per barrel as of writing following concerns over delayed vaccine rollouts and new coronavirus strains. News of the South African variant reaching the United States, concerns about a flood of new cases in Israel despite its success in vaccinating its population, and vaccine distribution issues in Europe and the United States are weighing heavily on the market. On the other hand, gold price slips 0.04% to $1842.93 a troy ounce following dollar strength.<\/p>\n
