AUSSIE: AUD/USD eased in the second half of the Asian session as risk aversion

crept into Asia-Pacific dealing, Chinese stocks traded heavy on the latest round

of trade war headlines out of the U.S. on Wednesday, as well additional property

market clampdowns being put put into place in China.

- AUD briefly blipped higher on the back of a much stronger than expected AU

trade print, but the move was limited and quickly unwound.

* AUD/USD currently trades around $0.7377, off its intraday low of $0.7373.

- Initial trend line support has been broken and the Jul27 low ($0.7370) is back

in focus. A break below here would trigger a further bearish signal, opening the

way for a decline to test the major trendline support ($0.7324). The first major

resistance point comes in the form of the July 31 high ($0.7441).

- Tomorrow brings the AU retail sales release, with focus on next week's RBA
