AUD/USD softens to near 0.7000 on hawkish Fed signals, RBA rate decision looms

The AUD/USD pair loses momentum to near 0.7010 during the early Asian session on Monday. The US Dollar strengthens against the Australian Dollar on rising US Treasury yields and growing bets on further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The Reserve Bank of Australia will be in the spotlight later on Tuesday.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears.

Fed vs BoJ: Both hiked. The market only believes one of them – and the chart shows which

The Fed and the BoJ have just done something remarkably similar. Both central banks raised interest rates by 25 bps last week, both are confronting inflation risks, and both signal that future decisions will depend on incoming economic data.
