EUR/AUD bids come in on Chinese data release

FXStreet (Guatemala) - EUR/AUD is currently trading at 1.3938 with a high of 1.3942 and a low of 1.3795.

EUR/AUD has spiked up on the back of the recent Chinese data that came in recently on the hour. The Aussies has suffered across the board as a result in an otherwise relatively quiet start to the trading week in Asia. The numbers were a big miss, and came in the form of China'sTrade Balance (Mar). This saw CNY 18.8 bln vs exp CNY 250.0 bln, with exports -14.6% y/y (in yuan terms), while imports were -12.3% y/y (yuan terms).

Technically, the cross is going to be subject to key technical levels in the EUR/USD and the Aussie which are both in the region of oversold territory vs a strong bearish trend. The cross specifically finds support at 1.3720 and 1.4400 on the upside as key resistance. A break of 1.4000 on any follow through in volume on this move could open up 1.4070 as a realistic target for the week near term, depending on data flows and price action else where as we progress.

Big miss in China's trade figures

China's Trade Balance (Mar) missed expectations by a mile, coming at CNY 18.8 bln vs CNY 250.0 bln expected by the market, with exports at -14.6% year-on-year (in yuan terms), while imports were -12.3% y/y (yuan terms), all components being a big miss.
