The Australian dollar traded above US$0.69 after China announced fiscal support for its economy. US core PCE rose 0.1% month-on-month in August, below expectations, and yearly core PCE reached 2.7%.
China's September PMI readings were mixed, with Caixin in contraction.
Chinese fiscal support and softer US inflation support the AUD and weaken the dollar, which can support commodity prices, but the effect on feed markets is modest.
