USD: Risk Sentiment Improves on Iran War Headlines; USD Softens
Risk sentiment improved late in the North American session after comments from Donald Trump suggested the Iran conflict could end sooner than expected. The positive headlines lifted equities and weakened the U.S. dollar as investors shifted back toward risk-sensitive currencies.
The AUD/USD traded within a wide range overnight, finishing near the upper end as the Sydney session approached. Meanwhile, EUR/USD and GBP/USD also strengthened as the U.S. dollar softened through the afternoon session. USD/JPY, NZD/USD, and USD/CAD moved within their respective ranges as currency markets reacted to improving risk sentiment and geopolitical developments.
Market participants are now watching key technical levels, with AUD/USD demand expected near the lower end of the recent range, while selling interest is likely to emerge near the upper resistance levels.
