  • Investors brace for the coronavirus outbreak to hit the world economy, stoking expectations for rate cuts from the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank.
     
  • The Aussie was trading 0.4 percent down at 0.6577, having hit a low of 0.6569 earlier, its lowest since March 2009.

  • Immediate resistance is located at 0.6610 (23.6% retracement of 0.6750 and 0.6569), a break above could take it near 0.6636 (38.2% retracement). 
     
  • On the downside, support is seen at 0.6558, a break below could drag it till 0.6527.
