Aussie dollar slumped despite upbeat employment data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian dollar, which widely known as Aussie, seesawed during the Asian early trading session amid mixed market sentiment. Earlier today, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported its Employment Change data for the month of November with a stronger-than-expected reading, where it came in at 64.0K, significantly higher than the consensus forecast at 19.0K. The upbeat data showed that the nation\u2019s labor market remained resilient despite sky-high inflation issue persists. However, the Aussie dollar was pressured by huge bearish momentum after China released a downbeat economic data. According to the China\u2019s National Bureau of Statistics, the China Industrial Production data for November declined from 5.0% to 2.2%, weaker than the consensus forecast at 3.6%. The significant drop was mainly attributed to the stricter lockdown measure, which implemented by the local government throughout the month with an aim of curbing the spread of Covid-19. As of writing, the pair of AUD\/USD dropped by -0.33% to 0.6845.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price slid by -0.90% to $76.85 per barrel as US crude oil inventories see huge inventory build in the past one week. According to the EIA, US Crude Oil Inventories came in at 10.231M while the consensus forecast was -3.595M. Besides, the gold prices dropped -0.89% to $1795.30 per troy ounce follow the rebound of dollar index.<\/p>\n
