Key quotes
We strongly believe that China didn’t report the outbreak of the new coronavirus in a timely fashion to the WHO.
Even after China’s Communist Party (CCP) did notify the WHO of the coronavirus outbreak, China didn’t share all of the information it had.
FX implications
The news, which should ideally weigh on the antipodeans, fails to attract much attention considering the initial hour of the Asian session on Friday. On the contrary, the AUD/USD pair marks a five-pip gain to 0.6275 by the press time.
