China’s remark also consoles the markets, supporting the risk-sensitive Aussie.


Looking ahead, the pair awaits the Chinese trade data, with key focus on its exports amid the trade war. Although the full impact of US tariffs will not be known but the data could provide some fresh trading incentives in the major.
