Investors may benefit from selling the Australian dollar against the greenback as it may decline 4 percent as China’s economy slows, Westpac Banking Corp. said.

Investors should sell the so-called Aussie as it gains toward 88.15 cents, looking for it to drop initially to 84 cents, the Sydney-based bank said today in an e-mailed note to clients. They should exit the trade if the Australian dollar rises above 89 cents, it said. The currency traded at 87.51 U.S. cents as of 3:40 p.m. in Sydney.
