Australia Dollar slump following passive economic data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

AUDUSD edged down since Thursday amid the backdrop of passive economic data of China. According to China Logistics Information Center, China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) notched down from the previous reading of 50.2 to 49.5, lower than the market forecast of 49.9. China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) provides an early indication each month of economic activities in the Chinese manufacturing sector. The data presented is compiled from the enterprises responses about their purchasing activities and supply situations. Hence, the upbeat index data would indicate a better economic prospect. Nonetheless, the index data did not meet market expectations, which dialed down the market optimism toward economic progression in China. As China is the largest trading partner for Australia, negative economic prospect in China would likely to drag down Australia economic momentum, prompting investors to selloff Australia Dollar as the market optimism toward Australia Dollar has been dialed down. Besides, Shanghai is set to put the vast majority of its residents under COVID lockdown from Friday, as it expands curbs to include the western half of the city and extends restrictions in the east, according to Reuters, spurring further bearish momentum on the pair. As of writing, AUDUSD depreciated by 0.04% to 0.7477.<\/p>\n
