EUR/AUD faces stiff resistance at 1.4850 levels

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The single currency trades higher against the Australian dollar after the Aussie felt to 4-1/y lows against the greenback.

Currently, the EUR/AUD pair trades at 1.4838 levels, 0.38% higher as compared to previous day’s close at 1.4799. The Aussie weakened as Chinese imports fell sharply in November, biggest drop since January which fuelled concerns over slowing domestic demand in the world’s second-largest economy. Australia is an export-oriented economy, China being its major export destination.
