The Aussie firmed to 0.7176, near its 12-month high, riding the risk-on tech tape and a firmer oil price.

AUD is tracking equity risk appetite and the commodity bounce more than rate spreads in the current regime.

0.7200 is the key resistance; a hold above keeps the uptrend intact, with 0.7120 as first support.

Tesla rose 1.9% to $423.74, outperforming megacaps as SpaceX IPO buzz lifted the broader Musk complex.

Sentiment, not fundamentals, is driving the move — the reported $75bn SpaceX IPO halo and EV-policy headlines are the fuel.

$430 resistance and $410 support frame the range into the next session.
