Positive data buoyed the demand for AUD.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Australian dollar rebounds from its lower level over the backdrop of positive economic data as well as diminishing tension in between US and Iran. As of writing, pair of AUD\/USD rose 0.15% to 0.6875. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, Trade Balance for the month of November came in with a higher surplus of 5.80 billion, significantly higher than forecast of 4.15 billion. A sharp recovery in trade is widely due to resources exports while coupled with weaker exchange rate of Australian dollar which helped services exports as well. In addition, the pair received additional bullish support after US and Iran backed away from the brink of conflict in the Middle East. In a speech delivered by US President Donald Trump yesterday, he stated that Washington will retaliate upon Iranian attack on US forces with sanctions and not violence. Likewise, Iran offered no immediate signal to respond further after US assassinate one of its senior military commanders last Friday. However, gains on the Australian dollar remains limited as November\u2019s import contracted by -3%. A contraction in imports spur concerns over domestic consumption which may led to mediocre recovery in inflationary pressure. For the time being, investors will continue to scrutinize upon economic data from Australia as well as geopolitical development in the Middle East to gauge market sentiment.<\/p>\n

As for commodities market, crude oil price recovered its losses by 0.12% to $60.06 per barrel. Oil price slumped more than 5% on yesterday following diminishing tension in between US and Iran which has dialed down speculation over possible oil shortage from the Middle East. On the other hand, gold price rebounds by 0.26% to $1,559.78 a troy ounce as investors due to ongoing risks in the market such as Brexit issues in the UK.<\/p>\n
