China\u2019s national bureau of statistics revealed that profits at Chinese industrial firms rose 6% year on year in May to $82.28 billion, the sharpest monthly increase since March in 2019. This comes following a -4.3% fall in April.<\/p>\n<p>China is Australia\u2019s largest trading partner and the Australian dollar is considered a proxy for China. The encouraging data overshadowed news of another flare up of covid-19 cases. China\u2019s Anxin County announced heavy lockdown restrictions like Wuhan adhered to in the early days of the outbreak. Investors will continue to watch covid-19 statistics closely, in addition to headlines surrounding a coronavirus vaccine which has been approved for use in China\u2019s military.<\/p>\n<p>The Pound is trading mixed versus its major peers amid fiscal spending optimism and Brexit nerves.<\/p>\n<p>Boris Johnson is set to announce, in a speech tomorrow, a huge increase in fiscal spending, particularly infrastructure spending to boost the UK economy out of the coronavirus crisis. Boris Johnson has no intention of returning to the austerity of the previous decade with \u00a31.2 billion dollar spend expected on schools, hospitals, housing, roads and rail.<\/p>\n<p>Post Brexit trade talks begin today. Heading into the talks, the EU appears to be seeking compromise, whilst the UK is looking less flexible as issues such as fishing, EU judicial power and \u201cthe level playing field\u201d remain contentious. Any leaked headlines across the week hinting at a lack of progress could drag on the Pound. EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier is due to give an update at the end of the week.<\/p>\n<p>Failure by the two sides to reach a deal by the end of the year will mean that the UK will leave on unfavourable World Trade Organisation rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian Dollar (AUD) is moving tentatively higher boosted by an improvement in Chinese industrial profits and vaccine developments Pound (GBP) is supported by fiscal stimulus programme optimism Post Brexit trade talks begin and could drive the Pound\u2019s movement over the week Pound Australian Dollar exchange rate holds below 1.80 The Australian Dollar gained 0.6% [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":163946597,"featured_media":3769,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1547,1379],"tags":[1540,1578,1541,1386,2917,1394,1391,2695],"class_list":{"0":"post-101519","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-aud","8":"category-gbp","9":"tag-aud","10":"tag-aussie-dollar","11":"tag-australian-dollar","12":"tag-brexit","13":"tag-chinese-industrial-profits","14":"tag-gbp","15":"tag-pound","16":"tag-vaccine"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
