Aussie & Pound can decline towards 0.69-0.68 & 1.36 in the coming sessions if the ongoing fall persists. USDINR tested the resistance near 92 and closed slightly lower.

Nikkei could rise towards 54000/55000 while above support near 53000. Shanghai can continue trade within 4200-4100.

Brent and WTI have strengthened on Middle East geopolitical tensions, with further upside seen towards $72–$73 and $67–$68 respectively.
