The AUDUSD moved lower into the start of trading today, but once again found willing buyers against its rising 100-hour moving average. That is an important development because the pair also attracted buyers at that same technical level during yesterday's Asia-Pacific session. In other words, the last two tests of the 100-hour moving average have been defended by buyers, reinforcing its importance as a key short-term support level.

As a reminder, the Strait of Hormuz has reverted back to a de facto closure as the US and Iran are engaging in military strikes once again. And with that, the US has also reimposed their naval blockade at the other end of the strait. As such, both sides have pretty much hit the reset button to the ceasefire deal/memorandum of understanding. For the time being, the latest shiptracking data shows that traffic along the strait has gone back all the way down. And by that, I mean to the lowest point

A confirmed US strike on a hardened, deeply buried nuclear site would mark a significant escalation beyond the strikes on shipping and conventional military targets seen so far, and would likely be read by markets as raising the risk of a broader, more prolonged conflict rather than a step toward de-escalation.
