U.S. strikes on Iran triggered at 5–7% spike in crude, pushing Brent above $77/barrel, before plummeting as ceasefire sentiment returned

Dovish Shift at the Fed
Multiple Fed officials (Bowman, Waller, Goolsbee) openly support a July rate cut, shifting dollar sentiment


Emerging-Market Pressure: Indian Rupee in Focus
Rising oil costs and geopolitical instability weigh on the INR, prompting potential RBI intervention

Rate-cut window in Europe: The ECB's dovish tone softens EUR's upside, while oil volatility now has less impact.

Key chart signals: A sustained break below 1.0670 could open further downside toward 1.0600–1.0535.

Choppy action off failed breakouts near 148.00—watch for JPY resilience risk amid risk-off repricing

AUD/USD & Other Emerging Currencies:
Oil-driven FX pressure affecting the AUD—tracked via crude sensitivity.

The Indian rupee weakness hints at broader emerging-market stress in risk-sensitive currencies
