AUD/USD consolidates around 0.7100 as geopolitical tensions counter hawkish RBA
The AUD/USD remains confined within a multi-week-old range, oscillating in a narrow band around 0.7100 during the Asian session on Tuesday. Bets for another interest rate hike by the RBA in May continue to act as a tailwind for the Aussie. However, a hit to sentiment from US-Israeli air strikes against Iran helps the safe-haven US Dollar preserve its overnight strong gains, reaching the highest level since January 20, and caps gains for the risk-sensitive Australian Dollar.
USD/JPY bulls seem hesitant amid intervention fears
USD/JPY is seen consolidating below the mid-157.00s and over a five-week high set on Monday as a dramatic escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continues to benefit the US Dollar's status as the global reserve currency. Moreover, reduced bets for an immediate rate hike by the BoJ seem to weigh on the Japanese Yen and act as a tailwind for spot prices. That said, intervention fears hold back the JPY bears from placing fresh bets and capping gains for the currency pair.
