Why It Matters
Observing changes in foreign direct investment (FDI) can partially reflect the current state of the Chinese economy. An increase in FDI indicates a robust Chinese economy, which is a short-term positive for the RMB and the Australian dollar; conversely, a decrease in FDI is a short-term negative for the Australian dollar.
