The pair has erased early gains led by upbeat China trade data and slipped into the red amid strong U.S. dollar.

Stellar U.S. non-farm payrolls on Friday pushed the dollar higher across the board. Dollar also seems to be benefitting from safe-haven demand amid risk-off.

Data released on Sunday showed China's export growth jumped to the highest in over two decades, while imports also showed a sharp bounceback from the coronavirus outbreak lows. 

Exports spiked 60.6 percent on-year in the January-February period, well above forecasts, while imports rose 22.2 percent, official data showed Sunday.

Meanwhile, China's overall trade surplus came in at $103.3 billion, its customs administration said. The country's trade surplus with the US doubled from the same period last year to $51.3 billion.
