AUD/USD cracks 0.7000 as Bullock dulls RBA hike, CPI looms

The Aussie Dollar tumbled over 0.40% against the US Dollar on Tuesday, even though the Reserve Bank of Australia raised rates to 4.60%, but a mild-dovish tilt by RBA Governor Bullock cleared the path to push the pair below the 0.7000 threshold.

USD/JPY consolidates near 157.50 as a bullish USD counters intervention risks

USD/JPY struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from a one-week low, consolidating around 157.50 in the Asian session on Tuesday.

Financial markets are moving on fears, mostly related to persistently high energy prices driven by the Middle East war. Sure, the US Dollar (USD) is strong, but at what cost?
