Global Comment
The US Dollar felt pressure yesterday following poor retail sales figures showing barely any growth. Data also showed the Producer Price Index dropping at its biggest levels in 8 years, below expectations of -0.7% to -1.1%. The Euro capitalised on the sell off by investors of the US Dollar to gain over 0.5% in the day, breaching the 1.14 key significant levels of resistance. Whilst the pair did briefly flirt with 1.15 levels, we are now seeing EUR/USD trade in the region of 1.1446.
There were raised concerns yesterday over the China economic slowdown. The Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index came in below expectations, posting 1.6% and 0.1%, worse than forecasts which projected 1.8% and 0.5%.
Aussie unemployment fell lower than forecasts, posting 6.2% against the predicted levels of 6.3%. GBP/AUD is currently trading at 2.1123.
Have a great day!
