China’s Economy Benefits Australia’s Dollar

The Australian dollar gained today after the government reports showed that China’s economic growth accelerated and stocks jumped, increasing appeal of higher-yielding currencies.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of shares rose 1.1 percent after falling 0.2 percent. The Stoxx Europe 600 index advanced 0.8 percent. The gains can be limited after China National Radio said today that the nation may boost borrowing costs this month as the inflation is going to increase even more. China is the biggest trading partner of Australia.

AUD/USD rose to 1.0643 from 1.0601 today as of 11:52 GMT after earlier it fell to 1.0567. EUR/AUD dropped to 1.3560 from 1.3590.
