Aussie remains weak amid covid fears.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian dollar which traded against the dollar and other currency pairs have fell following vaccine optimism fails to overcome covid fears. Following latest development, the covid concerns remain as a major challenge for the pair as infections in Queensland and Victoria stay closer to recent highs. Sydney also tightens its restriction after daily cases continue to linger near record highs while Australia\u2019s capital city Canberra also goes into a 7-day lock down. With Delta variant continue to spread, vaccination roll out have not been sufficient to cope with Delta variant as epidemiologists say the Delta variant has proven to be the most infectious and transmissible of all the strains so far. As of now, only 24% of people above 16 years are fully vaccinated. At the time of writing, AUD\/USD slips 0.03% to 0.7342.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil fell 0.42% to $68.62 per barrel at the time of writing following virus and demand concerns. The latest Covid-19 wave is leading to renewed restriction across the globe. The biggest concern is in China, where authorities have taken an aggressive approach to containing the outbreak despite having one of the world\u2019s highest vaccination rates. On the other hand, gold price rose 0.17% to $1755.86 a troy ounce at the time of writing following dollar retreat.<\/p>\n
