The Australian dollar fell towards its lowest level in 11 years during the past hour, to settle below 0.6600 levels. This is due to a renewed risk aversion in the market, amid continuing concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus.

Concerns have started to increase regarding the continued negative economic impact of the Corona virus, especially after statements by the World Health Organization which warned that the virus might spread globally, which raised concerns about the prospects for Chinese economic growth and thus negatively affected the Australian dollar.

Later in the day, markets were awaiting the initial reading of the manufacturing and services PMI for the United States, as well as data for the existing home sales index. We are also awaiting a series of speeches by some members of the Federal Reserve.
