AUD surged amid optimistic China data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

AUDUSD surged as positive China data was released in this morning. Since Australia\u2019s economic growth is strongly tied with China, the positive reading has provided some bullish support towards AUD. According to China Logistics Information Center, China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) came in at 49.8, exceeding the economic forecast for a reading up to 49.5. Such positive sentiment should signal a good economic prospect for China and the threat of trade war had a less impact toward the China economy. However, investors would continue to scrutinize future economic data in order to gauge the likelihood of the Reserve Bank of Australia\u2019s Cash Rate decision on Tuesday\u2019s RBA meeting. On the other hand, EUR\/USD slump as bleak data was released on last Friday. According to the data, German import prices fell sharply in August, while the EU Economic Sentiment Indicator fell to 101.7 in September, lower than the economic expectation at 103.00. French Consumer inflation data also came in below the market expectations. In addition, the ECB\u2019s chief economist Philip Lane hinted that the bank still has space for further monetary easing when its new President Christine Lagarde takes over in November. However, investors would pay close attention in today\u2019s crucial economic data today in order to gauge the future direction of policy from the European Central Bank and the movement of the pair. As of writing, AUD\/USD slump 0.13% to 0.6755 and EUR\/USD depreciated by 0.06% to 1.0929.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price slumped 0.20% to $56.02 per barrel on easing tensions in Middle East after a rather surprising turn of events. Saudi Arabia is implementing a partial cease-fire in Yemen while rumors surfaced that the U.S. is considering easing sanction on Iran. On the other hand, gold price fell by 0.33% to $1491.82 per troy ounces amid positive expectation for a resolution of trade war which sparked higher demand for risky assets.<\/p>\n
