Asian shares surge after oil prices slip and Wall Street resumes its AI rally

The USD/JPY remains influenced by oil prices and central bank expectations, particularly with BOJ board member Koeda's upcoming speech. Recent declines in Brent crude and US Treasury yields have left USD/JPY vulnerable, struggling to break above 159 resistance. Market focus is on Koeda's hawkish stance and remarks from incoming Fed Chair Warsh, as traders anticipate potential rate hikes. Key levels to watch are 157.92 for support and 159.00 for resistance, with a preference to sell rallies in the near term.

Global oil prices drop below $108 a barrel after Trump reaffirms he would end the war in Iran 'very quickly'; Hormuz sees increased tanker traffic

Oil prices fell sharply after President Trump stated the war in Iran would end 'very quickly,' with U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate dropping nearly 5% to $102.58 a barrel. The announcement coincided with increased oil tanker activity in the Strait of Hormuz and a 30-day extension of sanctions waivers for certain countries purchasing Russian oil. Analysts warn that unresolved issues regarding Iran's nuclear program may lead to prolonged high energy prices and inflation.

Despite skepticism towards the U.S., Iran is committed to negotiations. Meanwhile, President Trump mentions Venezuelan oil shipments to the U.S. and warns of potential further conflict unless Iran adapts.
