Past
What happened
Aussie shed 100 pips to 0.7153 as risk-off swept commodities — silver collapsed 8.5% intraday, gold dropped 2.5% — and the dollar regained safe-haven flow on the PPI shock.
Why
Why it matters
AUD is leveraged to the China-commodity story; the Trump-Xi summit ended on positive trade talk but commodities ignored the headline and traded the inflation/yield re-pricing instead.
Watch
What to watch
0.7100 psych level is the next test. China industrial production / retail sales early next week, plus any concrete tariff readout from the summit, decide whether 0.7000 opens up.
