China's CPI drops to 0.2% m/m in October, meets estimates

Inflation readings continue to flash warnings of a steepening slowdown in China's domestic economy at the hands of trade war tensions, and declining figures for Australia's largest trading partner is seeing the Aussie soften its stance heading into the week's end, with the AUD/JPY slipping further from yesterday's high just north of the 83.00 handle, and the pair is now bumping into near-term support from the 50-hour EMA, which rests near 82.55.
