Why some currencies have shelter from the storm

Despite the Ukraine crisis and China slowdown, both the Euro and the Aussie dollar seem unaffected by the noise and turmoil, why is that? 

In the case of the Aussie Dollar, it’s remained steady, close to three month highs, apparently immune to the Chinese slowdown. The latest HSBC PMI data suggested yet more contraction in China, especially among medium sized private factories. The Aussie meanwhile remains robust due to possible rate changes with RBA intervention a clear possibility.    

Again, the Chinese slowdown could actually benefit the Euro as well. People's Bank of China diversification away from US Treasury bonds could boost the Euro despite a manufacturing slump hitting the EU, which is China's largest global market.
