AUD/USD keeps range near 0.7150 after RBA minutes
AUD/USD keeps its range near the mid-0.7100s in the Asian session on Tuesday, following the release of the RBA Minutes of the July policy meeting. The Minutes showed that the central bank stuck to its data-dependent approach, while showing a willingness to raise rates if inflation risks materialize. Meanwhile, rising US-Iran tensions fuel concerns about inflation risks from higher oil prices and act as a tailwind for US bond yields, helping the US Dollar preserve the previous day's recovery gains, limiting the pair's upside.

USD/JPY picks up bid toward 159.50 as Iran risks support USD
USD/JPY picks up fresh bids toward 159.50 in the late Asian session on Tuesday amid a supportive fundamental backdrop. The risk of further escalation of the Middle East crisis, in the wake of the US campaign to isolate Iran from the global economy, acts as a tailwind for the safe-haven US Dollar. Furthermore, the wide US-Japan rate gap, despite expectations for faster BoJ rate hikes, and Japan's fiscal woes continue to undermine the Japanese Yen, lending additional support to the pair.
