The United States (US) officials said that the second round of strikes in Iran is taking place now, targeting air defense and radar systems, Axios reported early Wednesday.
This action came as Washington launched retaliatory strikes against Iran on Tuesday in what it called a proportional response to the shooting down of a US helicopter gunship near the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier.
Iran’s state television reported that explosions and air defense sirens were heard in several cities along Iran’s Persian Gulf coast, including the city of Sirik and the island of Qeshm. Two Iranian officials stated that the airstrikes had targeted military bases and other installations, including artillery batteries.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that the “self-defense” strikes carried out on US President Donald Trump’s order were “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.”

WTI Oil FAQs
WTI Oil is a type of Crude Oil sold on international markets. The WTI stands for West Texas Intermediate, one of three major types including Brent and Dubai Crude. WTI is also referred to as “light” and “sweet” because of its relatively low gravity and sulfur content respectively. It is considered a high quality Oil that is easily refined. It is sourced in the United States and distributed via the Cushing hub, which is considered “The Pipeline Crossroads of the World”. It is a benchmark for the Oil market and WTI price is frequently quoted in the media.
Like all assets, supply and demand are the key drivers of WTI Oil price. As such, global growth can be a driver of increased demand and vice versa for weak global growth. Political instability, wars, and sanctions can disrupt supply and impact prices. The decisions of OPEC, a group of major Oil-producing countries, is another key driver of price. The value of the US Dollar influences the price of WTI Crude Oil, since Oil is predominantly traded in US Dollars, thus a weaker US Dollar can make Oil more affordable and vice versa.
The weekly Oil inventory reports published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Energy Information Agency (EIA) impact the price of WTI Oil. Changes in inventories reflect fluctuating supply and demand. If the data shows a drop in inventories it can indicate increased demand, pushing up Oil price. Higher inventories can reflect increased supply, pushing down prices. API’s report is published every Tuesday and EIA’s the day after. Their results are usually similar, falling within 1% of each other 75% of the time. The EIA data is considered more reliable, since it is a government agency.
OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) is a group of 12 Oil-producing nations who collectively decide production quotas for member countries at twice-yearly meetings. Their decisions often impact WTI Oil prices. When OPEC decides to lower quotas, it can tighten supply, pushing up Oil prices. When OPEC increases production, it has the opposite effect. OPEC+ refers to an expanded group that includes ten extra non-OPEC members, the most notable of which is Russia.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned the United States (US) to leave the region or face consequences, adding that Iran's armed forces would not leave any attack or threat unanswered.
His remarks came after US forces struck multiple Iranian air defenses and radar systems near the Strait of Hormuz.

- Gold price tumbles to near $4,235 in Wednesday's early Asian session.
- The US launched new strikes on Iran after a helicopter was downed, raising fears of prolonged conflict.
- Traders brace for the US May CPI inflation data, which is due later on Wednesday.
Gold price (XAU/USD) attracts some sellers to around $4,235, the lowest since March 23, during the early Asian session on Wednesday. The precious metal extends its downside on renewed tensions in the Middle East and rising expectations of a US interest rate hike this year. The release of the US May Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data will be in the spotlight later on Wednesday.
Reuters reported on Tuesday that the US launched strikes against Iran after US President Donald Trump said Tehran had shot down a US Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz. Early Tuesday, Trump emphasized that Iran and the US are close to an agreement, though there have been few signs of progress since a tenuous ceasefire took effect in early April.
Uncertainty surrounding the peace deal between the two countries continues to fuel concerns over inflation and expectations of elevated interest rates. It’s worth noting that Gold is often used amid geopolitical uncertainty but does not yield interest, making it less attractive when interest rates are high.
Stronger-than-expected US May jobs data have boosted expectations of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike this year. Traders will take more cues from the US CPI report later in the day. The headline US CPI is expected to show a rise of 4.2% YoY in May, compared to 3.8% in April. The core CPI is projected to show an increase of 2.9% YoY during the same period, versus 2.8% prior.
Any signs of hotter inflation in the US could boost the Greenback and exert some selling pressure on the USD-denominated commodity price in the near term.
“The prevailing inflation fears, data strength, Fed hike probability increasing, and break of 200-day moving average have led to a heavy skew negative,” said Ryan McKay, senior commodity strategist at TD Securities.
Gold FAQs
Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.
- Sterling rallied on a blowout BRC retail sales beat before fading at a major long-term moving average.
- Wednesday's US CPI is the week's dominant event and the Dollar holds the leverage.
- Friday's UK GDP is expected to show output shrinking in April.
Sterling finally got a piece of good domestic news and managed to enjoy it for about half a session. GBP/USD rallied from just below 1.3350 to a touch above 1.3400 on Tuesday, tagged the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and spent the rest of the day leaking back beneath the figure. The bounce was real, the rejection was cleaner, and the week's actual main event has not even happened yet.
Retail therapy with an asterisk
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) reported like-for-like retail sales up 3.4% YoY in May, miles above the 0.6% consensus and a full reversal of April's 3.4% decline. It is a genuinely strong print, and also a thin one. A shop survey swinging seven points in a month says as much about base effects and calendar quirks as it does about a consumer renaissance, and the Bank of England (BoE) will not reprice policy off it. Neither did the market: the pop had fully faded within hours.
A central bank with no good options
The BoE sits at 3.75% after its cutting cycle ran into the Middle East energy shock, and the bank has openly conceded inflation will now run hotter than it forecast. At the April 30 meeting the vote was 8 to 1, with the lone dissenter wanting a hike. Cutting into an energy shock is indefensible; hiking into an economy that consensus expects to have shrunk in April is worse. Markets expect nothing from the June 18 decision, which leaves Sterling with no domestic rate story at all, just a stagflation-shaped hole where one used to be. That hands the steering wheel to the Dollar side of the pair.
The 200-day is the tell
Tuesday's rejection happened almost to the pip at the 200-day EMA around 1.3400, with the 50-day EMA stacked overhead near 1.3450. The pair broke below both averages in early June and has now failed its first proper retest, which is exactly what a corrective bounce inside a downtrend is supposed to do. The daily Stochastic Relative Strength Index (Stoch RSI) sits mid-range, recovered from washed-out levels but signalling nothing. Until buyers reclaim 1.3400 on a daily close, rallies are inventory for sellers.
Wednesday sets the trap, Friday springs another
US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data lands Wednesday at 12:30 GMT, with consensus at 0.5% MoM and the YoY rate accelerating to 4.2% from 3.8%, the fastest in roughly three years, while core is seen at 2.9% YoY. The acceleration is mostly the Crude Oil war premium working through pumps and airfares, but after last week's Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) beat the distinction barely matters: Federal Reserve (Fed) cuts have vanished from CME FedWatch pricing for 2026 and hike odds keep creeping higher. A hot print is a clean Dollar bid that presses the pair back toward 1.3350 and then 1.3300. A soft core buys a relief pop into the 50-day EMA. Then Friday delivers the domestic test at 06:00 GMT, with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for April expected at -0.1% MoM alongside soft manufacturing output. Even a CPI reprieve hands Sterling a banana skin within 48 hours.
The framework
Upside: a daily close back above 1.3400 is the minimum requirement to take this bounce seriously, with the 50-day EMA near 1.3450 the bigger test.
Downside: initial support near 1.3350, then 1.3300, the early June floor.
Bias: fade strength while the pair holds below the 200-day EMA. The path of least resistance is lower into Friday's GDP unless Wednesday's CPI misses soft and core behaves.

Pound Sterling FAQs
The Pound Sterling (GBP) is the oldest currency in the world (886 AD) and the official currency of the United Kingdom. It is the fourth most traded unit for foreign exchange (FX) in the world, accounting for 12% of all transactions, averaging $630 billion a day, according to 2022 data. Its key trading pairs are GBP/USD, also known as ‘Cable’, which accounts for 11% of FX, GBP/JPY, or the ‘Dragon’ as it is known by traders (3%), and EUR/GBP (2%). The Pound Sterling is issued by the Bank of England (BoE).
The single most important factor influencing the value of the Pound Sterling is monetary policy decided by the Bank of England. The BoE bases its decisions on whether it has achieved its primary goal of “price stability” – a steady inflation rate of around 2%. Its primary tool for achieving this is the adjustment of interest rates. When inflation is too high, the BoE will try to rein it in by raising interest rates, making it more expensive for people and businesses to access credit. This is generally positive for GBP, as higher interest rates make the UK a more attractive place for global investors to park their money. When inflation falls too low it is a sign economic growth is slowing. In this scenario, the BoE will consider lowering interest rates to cheapen credit so businesses will borrow more to invest in growth-generating projects.
Data releases gauge the health of the economy and can impact the value of the Pound Sterling. Indicators such as GDP, Manufacturing and Services PMIs, and employment can all influence the direction of the GBP. A strong economy is good for Sterling. Not only does it attract more foreign investment but it may encourage the BoE to put up interest rates, which will directly strengthen GBP. Otherwise, if economic data is weak, the Pound Sterling is likely to fall.
Another significant data release for the Pound Sterling is the Trade Balance. This indicator measures the difference between what a country earns from its exports and what it spends on imports over a given period. If a country produces highly sought-after exports, its currency will benefit purely from the extra demand created from foreign buyers seeking to purchase these goods. Therefore, a positive net Trade Balance strengthens a currency and vice versa for a negative balance.
- The Yen is back at its weakest levels since the late April slide that forced Tokyo's hand.
- Markets price an imminent BoJ rate hike and the Yen still cannot find a bid.
- Wednesday's US CPI is expected to show headline inflation accelerating sharply.
Six weeks ago Japan reportedly spent a record sum dragging this pair off exactly this shelf. On Tuesday, USD/JPY ground from an early low near 160.00 to a session high just shy of 160.50, its strongest level since the late April spike that triggered intervention, before settling just beneath the high into the close. The entire operation has now been round-tripped, politely, a handful of pips at a time, and the Ministry of Finance (MoF) has so far responded with vocabulary rather than Dollars.
The intervention premium is gone
The late April yen-buying operation, reportedly the largest on record, plus a suspected follow-up in early May, bought roughly five big figures of relief. All of it has been handed back. When the pair first re-tagged the trigger zone early last week, both the Prime Minister and the finance minister warned about speculative, one-sided moves, and the resulting bounce lasted a few hours. The market has concluded that jawboning is free and is pricing it accordingly. It does not help that the Middle East war keeps Crude Oil elevated, meaning Japan's own energy import bill does a chunk of the Yen selling without any speculator's assistance.
Even an imminent hike cannot buy a bid
The genuinely strange part is that markets assign roughly an 80% probability of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) hiking its policy rate to 1.00% at the June 15 to 16 meeting, the highest setting in three decades, and the governor has all but pre-announced it. Sunday's final Q1 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was revised up to 0.5% QoQ against 0.3% expected, with the annualized rate at 1.8%. Decent growth, sticky domestic inflation, a hike days away, and the currency still cannot rally. The math explains the apathy: the Federal Reserve (Fed) sits at 3.50% to 3.75%, cuts have been priced out of CME FedWatch for the year, and odds of a hike later in 2026 keep climbing after last week's Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) beat. Twenty-five basis points from the BoJ barely dents that gap, and carry traders know it.
The chart only knows one direction
The daily picture is about as one-way as charts get, with price sitting comfortably above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) near 159.00 and the 200-day EMA around 156.00, while the daily Stochastic Relative Strength Index (Stoch RSI) has been parked in the 90s. Overbought has been a condition here, not a signal. The only resistance left on the chart is the late April peak just above 160.50, and the only thing standing in front of it is the MoF.
Wednesday decides whether Tokyo gets dragged back in
US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for May lands Wednesday at 12:30 GMT. Consensus looks for 0.5% MoM, with the YoY rate accelerating to 4.2% from 3.8%, which would be the fastest pace in roughly three years, while core is seen at 0.3% MoM and 2.9% YoY. The jump is mostly energy passthrough from the war premium, which the Fed claims to look through, but a hot print would still harden the higher-for-longer story and shove the pair into territory where intervention stops being a threat and becomes a scheduling question. A soft core reading offers the Yen a reprieve, though every dip this quarter has been bought.
The framework
Upside: a sustained break above 160.50 targets the late April peak, with the 161.00 handle behind it. That is also where headline risk from Tokyo peaks, so chasing strength up there amounts to donating to the MoF.
Downside: initial support near 160.00, then 159.50, with the 50-day EMA close to 159.00 defining the broader uptrend.
Bias: higher on a hot CPI, but with tight risk. This is a market grinding into two central bank meetings and a finance ministry with a famously large checkbook.
USD/JPY daily chart
Japanese Yen FAQs
The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world’s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of the Japanese economy, but more specifically by the Bank of Japan’s policy, the differential between Japanese and US bond yields, or risk sentiment among traders, among other factors.
One of the Bank of Japan’s mandates is currency control, so its moves are key for the Yen. The BoJ has directly intervened in currency markets sometimes, generally to lower the value of the Yen, although it refrains from doing it often due to political concerns of its main trading partners. The BoJ ultra-loose monetary policy between 2013 and 2024 caused the Yen to depreciate against its main currency peers due to an increasing policy divergence between the Bank of Japan and other main central banks. More recently, the gradually unwinding of this ultra-loose policy has given some support to the Yen.
Over the last decade, the BoJ’s stance of sticking to ultra-loose monetary policy has led to a widening policy divergence with other central banks, particularly with the US Federal Reserve. This supported a widening of the differential between the 10-year US and Japanese bonds, which favored the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen. The BoJ decision in 2024 to gradually abandon the ultra-loose policy, coupled with interest-rate cuts in other major central banks, is narrowing this differential.
The Japanese Yen is often seen as a safe-haven investment. This means that in times of market stress, investors are more likely to put their money in the Japanese currency due to its supposed reliability and stability. Turbulent times are likely to strengthen the Yen’s value against other currencies seen as more risky to invest in.
- Trump’s Iran retaliation threat drives investors toward safer assets.
- US small-business confidence weakens as price-hike plans persist.
- NAB drops August RBA hike call after sentiment deteriorates.
The Aussie Dollar edges lower, some 0.25% against the Greenback on Tuesday as the market mood turned sour due to Trump's threats to retaliate against Iran after a helicopter was downed in the Strait of Hormuz. The AUD/USD trades at 0.7027 after testing a six-week low of 0.7005.
AUD/USD weakens as geopolitical stress and CPI caution dominate
Market mood is downbeat as developments in the Middle East have opened the door for an escalation of Trump’s vow for a response against an Iranian attack. The US President Trump revealed that the US Central Command launched strikes on Iran on Tuesday, as retaliation, he posted on his social media.
Oil prices, despite recovering, ended the session with losses, with WTI down almost 3%, while the Greenback trimmed some of its earlier losses, ending almost flat, according to the US Dollar Index (DXY).
The US economic docket showed the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index fell to 95.3, below the 52-year average of 98.0, indicating that companies are less optimistic about the economic outlook. The survey showed that 34% of businesses polled plan to raise prices in three months. Regarding the labour market, small businesses dropped their hiring plans, with shortages persisting in sectors such as agriculture and wholesale trade.
Eyes turn to the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May on Wednesday, which could offer hints of the impact of the US-Iran war on inflation.
A Reuters poll found that most economists expect the Federal Reserve to keep rates unchanged for the rest of the year. Almost 70% of the 102 economists forecast the Fed Funds rate to end at the 3.50%-3.75% range. Money markets had priced in 22 basis points of rate hikes towards the end of the year.
Some Federal Open Market Committee members have already floated the possibility that rates may need to rise later this year.
In Australia, consumer sentiment declined again in June due to inflation and rising gasoline costs affecting family budgets. Business conditions steadied in May, according to the National Australia Bank (NAB) survey.
Economists at NAB revised their expectations for further Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) tightening, following three rate hikes this year. “We no longer expect the RBA to hike by 25bp in August and now see the cash rate peaking at the current rate of 4.35%,” said Sally Auld, NAB Chief Economist.
AUD/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
In the daily chart, AUD/USD trades at 0.7024, extending a bearish near-term bias as spot holds below the clustered 50-, 100- and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) around 0.7132. The pair is sliding along a sequence of rising support trend lines, suggesting the broader uptrend is being tested, while the Relative Strength Index (14) near 36 hints at building downside momentum without yet reaching oversold territory.
On the topside, initial resistance is located at the 50/100/200-day SMA cluster near 0.7132, with the broader downward resistance trend line above it reinforcing the cap on rallies. On the downside, successive upward support trend lines traced from 0.6833 and 0.6897 underpin the pair, leaving the immediate focus on whether buyers can defend these rising floors to prevent a deeper retracement within the broader bullish structure.

- USD/CHF holds bullish bias after inverse head-and-shoulders neckline break.
- RSI flattens near 65, signaling buyers retain upside momentum.
- Break above 0.8000 exposes 0.8050 and 0.8100 resistance.
The USD/CHF pair advances some 0.11% on Tuesday, trading near nine-week highs of 0.7991 as risk aversion boosted the Greenback, which has trimmed earlier losses to challenge the 0.8000 figure.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Price action shows USD/CHF is bullish-biased after an ‘inverse head-and-shoulders’ was confirmed by a break of the neckline, which opened the door for further gains.
Momentum is also bullish, as shown by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which turned flattish near the 65 level, suggesting that buyers are gathering momentum.
If USD/CHF climbs above 0.8000, the next stop would be the ‘inverse head-and-shoulders’ measured objective near the 0.8040-0.8050 area. A breach of the latter will expose the 0.8100 mark ahead of testing the November 5, 2025 swing high at 0.8124. Once those levels are hurdled, 0.8200 is up next.
Downwards, the first support is the June 5 daily high at 0.7968. Below this level lies 0.7950 ahead of the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7907.
