AUD/USD languishes near two-month low amid renewed Iran tensions

AUD/USD holds above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Wednesday, though it remains close to a nearly two-month low set the previous day. Fresh US strikes on Iran temper hopes for a peace deal and benefit the safe-haven US Dollar. Furthermore, inflationary concerns continue to fuel hawkish Fed expectations, lending additional support to the buck ahead of the US CPI report. Adding to this, reduced bets on an RBA rate hike in June cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY consolidates just below mid-160.00s, or its highest level since late April, as economic concerns stemming from the Middle East conflict continue to undermine the Japanese Yen (JPY). Furthermore, a fresh wave of US strikes on Iran benefits the safe-haven US Dollar and acts as a tailwind for the currency pair, countering Japan's hotter-than-expected PPI report. However, intervention fears cap the upside as traders seem hesitant ahead of the US consumer inflation figures later this Wednesday.

However, the recent breakdown below the 200-day SMA suggests that the path of least resistance for the XAU/USD is to the downside.

When the chips are down, the AI tape starts to shake

The market came into Tuesday trying to sell investors the comforting ”Turnaround Tuesday” idea that Friday’s AI fracture was just another pothole on the road higher. By the close, that story had lost its bid. Monday’s dead cat bounce had done what dead cat bounces always do.

The US economy defies the rules: 100 days into the Oil shock and the recession signal is still missing

More than three months after the start of the Iran war and the resulting disruption to global energy markets, the US economy continues to display remarkable resilience.
