Aussie declines as China's manufacturing expands at a slower pace
The Australian Dollar fell versus most of the major counterparts as preliminary data indicated China's manufacturing activity expands at a slower pace, clouding the outlook for Australia's exports. The Aussie fell 0.4% to $1.0278 as of 4:59 p.m. in Sydney. It fetched 97.73 yen, the strongest level since August 2008, before touching 96.81, 0.4% above the close on Friday.
