USD/JPY bulls eye break of 150, Crude oil is flat for the year: Asian Open
A sharp reversal on USD/JPY last week brings a potential break above 150 in to focus, assuming the US dollar can find a bid and USD/CNH continues to hold above its 200-day MA.

EUR, AUD, CAD, WTI analysis: Commitment of traders report (COT)
Large speculators increased their gross-long exposure to AUD/USD futures by 17.1% and trimmed shorts by -2.9% on the day of the RBA’s last hike.

Despite higher WTI prices, large futures traders continued to reduce their long exposure while managed funds have increased their shorts..

Gold, WTI crude oil: Buy on dips until a de-escalation in Israeli-Hamas conflict
