China is preparing to unveil its next five-year economic roadmap during the annual parliamentary meeting starting this Thursday. This strategic plan will define Beijing's long-term economic ambitions and identify key sectors designated for significant funding and policy support. As the world's largest consumer of raw materials, China's shift toward green energy, technology, or infrastructure will directly influence global commodity demand.

Additionally, the AUD/USD pair remains highly sensitive to these developments due to Australia's close trade ties with China.
