AUD/USD rallied to 0.7166 (+0.47%), the best G10 performer as oil-stress easing lifted commodity currencies and the dollar's geopolitical bid faded.

Aussie trades as a risk-on / China-proxy basket — with S&P 500 at fresh records and Hormuz tail risk fading, the pair gets a clean tailwind. RBA hawkish hold last week still underpins.

China PMI data over the weekend is the next test. Resistance 0.7200 (psychological); support 0.7120. A risk-off reversal on fresh Iran headlines could quickly reprice the entire move.

EUR/USD bounced to 1.1654 (+0.31%) as the dollar slipped on Hormuz ceasefire optimism, even after US strikes complicated the picture. Range traded tight all session as traders weighed conflicting Iran headlines.

Euro is the cleanest dollar-funded carry when oil-driven dollar strength fades. With DXY at 98.99 and US10Y near 4.46%, the relief rally favors EUR over higher-beta crosses while geopolitical resolution remains uncertain.

EU CPI flash print tomorrow is the main catalyst — ECB pricing still hinges on services inflation stickiness. 1.1700 caps upside; a clean Hormuz deal headline could push there. Loss of 1.1600 reopens 1.1550.
