Aussie is slightly less vulnerable to external woes than before
“The market might have turned somewhat complacent to the wider implications of China’s real estate woes. More concerning developments in this sense are set to hit AUD harder than other pro-cyclicals, given its high exposure to Chinese sentiment.”
“AUD can count on some protection from rising energy prices and looks already significantly oversold.”
