FxWirePro: Antipodeans buoyed by stellar Chinese trade data, AUD/CHF spikes to highest since April 2015

  • Data released earlier today showed China saw a sharp rise in the exports and imports in CNY terms in January.
  • China's trade surplus, exports as well imports came in much stronger-than-expected. Stellar numbers are boosting risk assets.
  • Upbeat China data along with Trump’s tax talk likely to dampen demand for safe haven currencies like CHF and JPY.
  • AUD/CHF spiked to hit 0.7666, levels last seen in April 2015. Bias higher.
  • The pair has retraced from highs to currently trade at 0.7654. We recommend buying on dips.
