AUDUSD
AUD/USD trades near 0.7000 during Monday’s session, up 0.33% on the day at the time of writing. The move comes as the US dollar softened amid signs of de-escalation in Middle East geopolitical tensions.
A weaker USD across the board is providing a tailwind for risk currencies like the Australian dollar. The improved sentiment follows reports of reduced conflict risk in the region, though details remain limited.
The pair is testing a key psychological level, with further gains possible if the dollar continues to retreat on fading safe-haven demand.
