Just to let you know AUD/USD is now lower trading at 1.0365/70
China numbers continue to disappoint and we will see later in their trade numbers if there is any improvement to their struggling export sector . Further signs of stimulus should be coming to light later in the week . Numbers coming out of Japan , with final 2nd qtr GDP and Trade balance being the highlights , should keep hopes of easing alive there too. AUD/USD will be the focus once again as poor Chinese numbers will weigh on it . Some consolidation is to be expected after the dollar sell off on Friday after the NFP release . All eyes will be on the FOMC later this week along with the German court vote .
