The USD Is higher vs the major currencies to kickstart the new trading day. The biggest gains are vs the AUD (+0.64%) and the NZD (+0.49%). The greenback is up 0.30% vs the EUR, 0.17% vs the JPY and 0.22% vs the GBP. In the video above, I talk about the technicals in play for those 3 major currency pairs to kickstart the North American session.

Recall, yesterday, President Trump announced a delay in a planned U.S. military strike on Iran after requests from key Middle East allies including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, who pushed for more time to pursue negotiations and avoid a broader regional conflict.

The delay followed reports that Iran had submitted a response aimed at ending the conflict, although major differences reportedly remain on nuclear and security issues. Trump made clear the pause is conditional, stressing that U.S. military forces remain ready to launch a large-scale strike quickly if talks fail to produce an acceptable agreement.

The shifting headlines led to volatile market reactions. Oil prices initially pulled back on hopes of de-escalation, while risk sentiment improved modestly in stocks. However, traders remain cautious given the uncertainty surrounding negotiations and the continued threat of renewed military action.

All is not calm as Iranian comments warn against opening "new fronts against them with new tools and methods".

Today’s Fed speak features Governor Waller and Philadelphia Fed President Paulson, with both expected to reinforce the Fed’s cautious stance on inflation.

Waller, a current voter, has recently stressed the need to monitor inflation expectations closely as geopolitical tensions and higher energy prices risk keeping inflation elevated. While acknowledging some labor market softening, he has leaned toward keeping rates steady unless inflation improves further.

Paulson, a 2026 voter, has warned that commodity shocks tied to global conflicts could feed inflation more persistently. She has emphasized the importance of Fed credibility on inflation while remaining data dependent, and has also pointed to AI-driven productivity gains as a possible longer-term offset to price pressures.
