AUSSIE: AUD/USD has registered a fresh YTD low of $0.7023 and now trades at
~$0.7025, ~55 pips softer on the day. 
- The pair moved lower as broader risk off flows played out, centring on a
weaker CNY after the PBOC fixed USD/CNY above CNY6.9500 for the first time since
Jan 2017, bringing focus onto the Antipodeans. 
- Bears try to retain downward momentum and seek to break the psychological
$0.7000, which would open up the 1.618% swing of the move from $0.7041-0.7160 at
$0.6967, while bulls need to retake yesterday's highs at $0.7099 to seek a
reversal pattern. 
- Notable nearby FX options expiries for AUD/USD at today's 10:00 NY cut:
$0.7080(A$1.02bn).
