If you fail to do something, you should look for the reasons within yourself. The United States should review what it has gained from the tariff war and trade war in recent years. Has the trade deficit expanded or shrunk? Has the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry increased or decreased? Has inflation improved or worsened? Has the peoples lives improved or worsened? Sino-US economic and trade relations are mutual and equal. If you choose to cooperate, you can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. If you blindly exert pressure, China will resolutely counter it.March 7, Wang Yi: China has been working for peace since the first day of the crisis.

AUD/USD continues to swing near 0.6860 despite positive Australian employment data

The AUD/USD currency pair continues to be affected by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision (Fed). The Australian dollar has continued to bounce at 0.6860 despite the Australian Bureau of Statistics' announcement of a significant improvement in Employment Change data. The Australian economy has created 64K new jobs, as opposed to the 19K expected and the 32.2K seen earlier. The unemployment rate has remained unchanged at 3.4%.

 

Previously, 12-month inflation forecasts for Australian consumers declined to 5.2% from 5.7% and 6.0% in the prior edition. Reserve Bank of Australia will be delighted by a considerable decline in inflationary pressures (RBA). Philip Lowe, the RBA's governor, has been tightening monetary policy to reduce the CPI (CPI).

 

Notably, a drop in one-year inflation expectations will not compel the RBA to abandon further interest rate hikes, given that the route to achieving a 2% inflation rate is not yet complete. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) could boost the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points (bps).

 

A change in the Federal Reserve's (Fed) current monetary policy plan caused volatility in the US Dollar. After the Fed announced a lesser rate hike of 50 basis points (bps) and abandoned the 75 basis point rate hike cycle, the US Dollar Index (DXY) plummeted to a six-month low of 103.49. As the fight against inflation will take some time, the Federal Reserve has raised the peak interest rate to 5.1% by the end of CY2023.
