- AUD/USD slumps back into weekly lows on China data miss.
- Chinese Retail Sales miss expectations, and the already-bearish Aussie needed little excuse to continue slipping.
AUD/USD is firmly pointed downwards for Friday’s action, dropping from the early session’s 0.7230 to test the week’s low at 0.7180 on China’s Retail Sales data miss.
Chinese Retail Sales clocked in at an annualized 8.1% for November, a clean miss of the expected 8.8%, and Antipodean markets continue to squirm under risk aversion as China’s economy faces continued slowdown thanks to ongoing trade tensions with the US, and the Aussie stands to get dragged down the growth slope despite being an innocent bystander.
