AUD tried, it really did, to like the Caixin China PMI, but no. Unchanged on the day.

The Australian dollar managed a bit of a pop on the release of the beat on the Caixin / Markit PMI:

• China Caixin / Markit Manufacturing PMI (September) 51.4 (expected 50.2)

While this was a nicer result the earlier PMI was not so much:

• PMI data from China for September. Manufacturing 49.8(expected 49.6)

AUD managed a pop …. its the one I drew the arrow to, otherwise its barely visible!

Now its back to awaiting the RBA tomorrow and US/China developments ….
