Despite the buoyant employment report which briefly lifted its local currency, the Australian dollar plummeted on Westpac\u2019s rate cut forecasts and the news of <strong>China\u2019s Coal Ban.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Simmering diplomatic tensions could be the trigger behind the ban. The news that the Dalian port in China has blocked imports from Australia emerged on Wednesday. It was also reported:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The port would cap the overall coal imports for 2019. <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Other major ports elsewhere in China have delayed clearing times.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The delayed cargoes would not be included in the 12 million tonnes under the 2019 quota.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Dalian, Bayuquan, Panjin, Dandong and Beiliang are the five harbours overseen by Dalian customs which will not allow Australian coal to clear through customs. <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Imports from Russia and Indonesia will not be affected.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beijing and Canberra\u2019s clash back in 2017 over cybersecurity and China\u2019s influence in Pacific Island nations were already showing signs of Australia\u2019s deteriorating ties with China. However, tensions increased again last month when Australia withdrew the visa of a prominent Chinese businessman, just months after barring Huawei from supplying equipment to its 5G broadband network.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, the comments from China are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The goals are to better safeguard the legal rights and interests of Chinese importers and to protect the environment.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Customs were inspecting and testing coal imports for safety and quality<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Beijing has been trying to restrict imports of coal more generally to support domestic prices.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The coal ban put additional pressure on the Australian dollar which plummeted against major currencies. The AUDUSD pair lost its recent bullish momentum and dropped to 0.70 level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AUDUSD (Hourly Chart)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-87256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gomarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aussie-coal-ban-1024x345.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aussie-coal-ban-1024x345.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gomarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aussie-coal-ban-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gomarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aussie-coal-ban-768x259.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gomarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aussie-coal-ban-600x202.png 600w, https:\/\/www.gomarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aussie-coal-ban.png 1545w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Source: GO MT4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This article is written by a GO Markets Analyst and is based on their independent analysis.
