US President Trump: Strait of Hormuz will be opened very soon if there's a deal

United States (US) President Donald Trump said that he had some strong talks over the Iran war and that they’ll see where the talks lead. Adding that if the talks can carry through, the conflict will end, speaking to reporters before boarding his presidential plane on Monday.

Key takeaways:

We have had strong talks.

We'll see where talks lead.

Have major points of agreement.

Witkoff, Kushner had talks.

If they carry through, will end conflict.

Discussions on Sunday into evening.

They want to make a deal, we want to make a deal too.

Will talk today probably by phone.

Hope to meet soon.

Hope to settle this.

Talked to top leadership.

US talked to Iranian top respected leader.

Have not heard from ayatollah's son supreme leader.

I don't want him to be killed.

Don't know if he is living.

Looking for no nuclear weapons, peace in Middle East.

Want nuclear dust, have agreed to that.

Want no enrichment, and want enriched uranium.

If deal happens, it's a great start for Iran and great for region.

Israel will be very happy with what we have.

Talked to Israel a little while ago.

Can't guarantee a deal.

They called, I didn't call.

Very easy to take enriched uranium ourselves if we have a deal.

We don't talk strategy.

Think it was an imminent threat.

They have no telecommunication so imagine they have a lack of communication.

I don't consider Khamenei's son the leader.

Are 15 points of agreement. They have agreed to no nuclear weapon.

Maybe joint leadership. Will be very serious form of regime change.

Maybe we find a leader like we did in Venezuela.

I want to have as much oil in the system as possible.

Don't think they are getting any oil money.

The price will drop like a rock as soon as there's a deal.

Strait of Hormuz will be opened very soon if there's a deal.”

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital
If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed. With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.
BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
