On Tuesday, financial markets welcomed the news on the improvement in the US-China relations. Today, however, traders' excitement has eased. They are thinking over Washington’s decision.
Despite the fact that the US authorities have delayed the imposition of tariffs on some Chinese goods, investors remain cautious buying safe-haven assets. The US dollar edged down against the Japanese currency, although last night the pair showed a short-term rise to the 107 level. What is more, market sentiment is again pessimistic due to the release of China’s data. Judging by the volume of industrial production, weak retail sales, and investments, the trade war is highly likely to continue. Analysts describe the US-China relations as chaotic. They believe that the conflict is unlikely to end in the near future.
Risk appetite remains subdued. Market participants are concerned by anti-government protests in Hong Kong. Clashes between demonstrators and police have intensified. Brexit and the Middle-East trade tensions are also weighing on market sentiment. It looks likely that risk aversion will persist, supporting the growth of major currencies. At the Asian session, the US dollar index was flat, trading mainly sideways at 97.81.
The AUD/USD pair is declining, locating at 0.6774. Yesterday, the Aussie almost touched the 0.68000 level. Its growth may indicate that the currency attempted to rebound from its intraday low.
Trade protectionism overshadowed the publication of US inflation data which accelerated in July. Economists forecast that the key rate will be cut by 50 basis points in September. However, investors have already priced in the reduction of the key rate by 0.25 basis points.
