China CDC virus expert says that Beijing's outbreak is now under control

Comments by China CDC virus expert, Wu Zunyou, in a press conference

Well, nothing says under control like closing down schools and cancelling flights in/out of the city. Let's see how quickly they will reverse those measures but sentiment is sentiment.

This is giving a bit of a lift to risk sentiment across the board with stocks also nudging a little higher and AUD/USD climbing from 0.6875 to 0.6900 now.
