Aussie soars following jobs data.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian dollar have climbs against its peers after jobs data showed an unexpected drop in unemployment. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Australian economy have added 28.9K jobs in December, higher than market expectation with the reading of 15K. Besides that, unemployment rate also improved to 5.1% which also surpassed market expectation of 5.2%. The unexpected results have provide a positive surprise and unwinding bets that the central bank will cut rates next month. As of Wednesday, expectations for a 25 basis point cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) on 4 February sat at 56%. As of writing, AUD\/USD soars 0.37% to 0.6869.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price plummets 0.43% to $55.83 per barrel amid growing concerns over China coronavirus. As the death toll from the virus have risen to 17, travel restrictions were imposed on the city of 11 million from which it emerged, and the World Health Organization mulled whether to declare an international emergency. The effect of the virus may cause huge economic impact and cripple energy demand. In the other hand, gold price remains steady and rose 0.05% to $1559.35 a troy ounce as investors are undecided about the current sentiment for the commodity and awaits for further signal.<\/p>\n
