ANZ says China to take action to support economic growth in H2 2018

Says ANZ o their China outlook:

We believe China will take a more proactive stance to support economic growth in the H2 2018

• State Council may launch some growth boosting measures, which should help turn around weakening growth in infrastructure spending
• We see this ultimately supporting steel and iron ore market, with the later likely to push back towards USD70/tonne
• A recent State Council meeting called for an acceleration in fiscal spending, which may help to provide funding for infrastructure projects

Bolding mine. Higher iron ore prices will act as a support for AUD (Australia sends lots of the rock to China)

You will have just seen the CNY mid rate setting:

• PBOC sets USD/ CNY reference rate for today at 6.7671 (vs. yesterday at 6.7066)

China is already taking action to support the economy , CNY devaluation will help support exporters.
