The USD has pulled back from Friday Night highs as the pause in the Middle-East bombing has held over the weekend. There has been some reports this could be because the US is running into missile shortages, though Trump pushed back on this: "TRUMP SAYS US HAS FAR MORE MUNITIONS THAN IT NEEDS: WSJ." The initial move has seen Currencies bounce, lets see how risk trades when it opens but it seems the market is looking to try and start the week on a positive footing.

AUDUSD is holding on to the bulk of its recent gains. A bear cycle remains intact and - for now - the recent climb is considered corrective. The pair has pierced the 50-day EMA, at 0.7008. A clear break of the average would highlight a stronger short-term bounce and signal scope for a continued retracement of the May 6 - Jun 30 bear leg. Key support and the bear trigger lies at 0.6865, the Jun 30 low. A breach of it would resume the downtrend.
