AUD/USD chart - Trading View 

Fundamental Overview:

Broad based US dollar weakness after Trump's softer rhetoric and upbeat China Caixin PMI buoy bulls in AUD/USD.

US President Trump was softer-than-anticipated in his announcement on measures on China. 

While Trump withdrew Hong Kong's special status, he did not mention new tariffs or the end of phase one of the trade deal with China.

Data released early on Monday showed the broader China Caixin Manufacturing PMI has posted an impressive jump back into expansionary territory, at 50.7.
