Aussie was pushed lower after China trade balance figures for November showed surplus of $ 54.47 billion, beating expectations on $43.95 billion surplus. But, exports for December were 4.7%, missing forecasts in 8% increase, while imports also missed predictions on 3.8% incline and fell by 6.7%, what is of course negative for Aussie as China is first Australian trading partner.
Tomorrow, from Australia, NAB Business Confidence figures will be released. Analysts are hoping for a better reading this month, after three consecutive months of decline. In the US session, JOLTS Job Openings data is scheduled for a release. A figure of 4.81 million is forecasted.
Figures to watch:
NAB Business Confidence (Tuesday 1:30)
JOLTS Job Openings (Tuesday 16:00)
