AUD/USD keeps the bid bias near 0.7000
AUD/USD has started the week in a positive footing and hovers around the 0.7000 region ahead of the opening bell in Asia, adding to Friday’s decent advance. The Greenback’s lack of direction lends support to the Aussie in a context of alleviated geopolitical concerns. Next of note in Oz is the speech by the RBA’s Bullock on Tuesday.
EUR/USD meets support near 1.1370
EUR/USD fades the initial bull run past 1.1400 the figure, deflating toward the 1.1370 zone on Monday. That said, the pair reverses two daily drops in a row on the back of the irresolute price action in the US Dollar, at the time when investors continue to closely follow developments from the Middle East conflict. Next on tap is the release of the US Consumer Confidence gauge by the Conference Board.
WTI remains on the defensive near $82.00
Prices of the WTI add to Friday’s retracement, revisiting the vicinity of the $82.00 mark per barrel on Monday. The commodity’s severe pullback comes amid a pause in hostilities between the US and Iran, which has, in turn, revived hopes of a diplomatic resolution, while potentially paving the way for a significant recovery in oil supplies flowing through the Strait of Hormuz.
