This section was published on Monday at 0:00 GMT as a preview of China’s Retail Sales, Industrial Production data.<\/em><\/p>\n

China Retail Sales, Industrial Production Overview<\/h2>\n

The National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS) will publish its data for November at 02.00 GMT. Retail Sales is expected to show an increase of 2.9% year-over-year (YoY) in November. Meanwhile, Industrial Production is projected to show a rise of 5.0% YoY in the same period versus 4.9% prior.<\/p>\n

Changes in Retail Sales are widely followed as an indicator of consumer spending. Meanwhile, Industrial Production shows the volume of production of Chinese Industries such as factories and manufacturing facilities. A surge in output is regarded as inflationary which would prompt the People\u2019s Bank of China would tighten monetary policy and fiscal policy risk. <\/p>\n

How could the China Retail Sales, Industrial Production affect AUD\/USD?<\/h2>\n

AUD\/USD trades on a positive note on the day in the lead up to the China Retail Sales, Industrial Production data. The pair gains ground as US Dollar (USD) softens amid the prospect of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) next year.<\/p>\n

If data comes in better than expected, it could lift the Australian Dollar (AUD), with the first upside barrier seen at the December 11 high of 0.6680. The next resistance level emerges at the September 17 high of 0.6707, en route to the October 14, 2024 high of 0.6750.<\/p>\n

To the downside, the December 11 low of 0.6626 will offer some comfort to buyers. Extended losses could see a drop to the October 28 high of 0.6590. The next contention level is located at the 100-day EMA of 0.6540.<\/p>\n
