- AUD/USD has paused downside and is consolidating previous sessions slump.
- Upbeat China official manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMI data is lending support to the Aussie.
- Data released earlier today showed China official manufacturing PMI for August printed at 51.3 and the non-manufacturing PMI came in at 54.2, beating forecasts at 51 and 53.8 respectively.
- However, escalating US-China trade war could cap the upside in the major.
- Technical bias remains bearish. We see no major signs of reversal and downside intact as long as pair holds below 50-DMA.
