AUD/USD trades near May 14 highs, above 0.7200 ahead of China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14. The US Dollar stays under pressure as a rallying Japanese Yen outweighs support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions. This, along with firming expectations for another RBA rate hike later this month, acts as a tailwind for the Aussie ahead of China's trade balance data.

USD/JPY sinks to mid-153.00s, February 18 lows as BoJ rate hike bets boost JPY

USD/JPY drops to its lowest level since February 18, near mid-153.00s during the Asian session on Tuesday, as Japan's upbeat wage growth data cements bets of a BoJ rate hike next week and continues to boost the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, US Dollar selling remains unabated despite hawkish Fed expectations and rising geopolitical tensions, lending additional support to the currency pair.

However, hawkish Fed bets, along with rising US-Iran tensions, could support the USD and cap the non-yielding bullion as traders await US inflation figures later this week.

Ethereum: Retail distributions outweigh whale and ETF buying

Ethereum (ETH) continues to consolidate near $2,500 on Monday as distribution from retail wallets outweighed whale optimism. Retail investors or wallets holding 1K-10K ETH offloaded 214K ETH last week, extending their distribution pattern to a second consecutive week, according to CryptoQuant data.

Good morning all, hope you enjoyed your weekend.

However, US markets are closed today for the Labor Day holiday, so liquidity should be lower and we may see slower price action.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight
