Aussie tumbles on China’s fragile economy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Aussie dollar, which traded against the dollar index slipped after China released its second quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP). China, as the largest trading partner of Australia, second-quarter annual basis GDP rose to 6.3% from 4.5%, but slightly lower than analysts polled by Reuters had predicted a 7.3% increase in the second quarter. On a monthly basis, Q2 GDP slipped to 0.8% from 2.2%, but higher than the market anticipated of 0.5%. it caused the pair of AUDUSD to decline as major trading partners weakened in economic conditions. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate in line with market expectations of 5.2%, stood at the same readings as the previous month. A statement from the National Bureau of China showed that the unemployment rate among the younger group aged between 16 to 24 was up to 21.3, a new record. National Bureau of China spokesperson noted that China faces a complex geopolitical and economic international environment but he predicts that China can still achieve 5% in full-year growth target. As of writing, the AUDUSD ticked down by -0.42% to 0.6807.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil prices slipped by -0.70% to $74.74 per barrel as China’s GDP was announced lower than expected. On the other hand, the price of gold rose by 0.12% to 1962.78 after the dollar strengthened.<\/p>\n
