April 7th - Russias crude oil prices rose to their highest level in over 13 years as the global oil price surge triggered by the situation with Iran. According to Argus Media, on April 2nd, the price of Russias flagship Urals crude reached $116.05 per barrel at Primorsk, Russias largest oil export facility on the Baltic coast. This price, excluding transportation costs, is almost double the average of $59 per barrel assumed in Russias budget this year. Amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, substantial oil revenues are easing the Kremlins financial pressure.According to Irans Nour News, power outages have occurred in parts of Karaj, Iran, due to artillery shells hitting power transmission lines.Qatar maintains that the post-war Hormuz Agreement should not exclude any parties in the region.Qatar maintains that the post-war Hormuz Agreement should include international guarantees.April 7th - Shipping data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and Kpler showed that crude oil exports from the Saudi Red Sea port of Yanbu fell by approximately 15% week-on-week in the week ending March 30th, averaging nearly 3.9 million barrels per day, compared to an average of nearly 4.6 million barrels per day the previous week. Kpler analyst Johannes Rauball stated, "The decline in exports likely reflects issues with vessel availability and unloading times."

AUD/USD However, 0.6700 is the key to the upside

In the early hours of Tuesday morning in Asia, the AUD/USD receives bids near 0.6650 to recover recent losses. In doing so, the Aussie pair recovers from the lowest levels in two weeks while reversing course from the horizontal support that has been in place for 12 days around 0.6620.

 

Nonetheless, imminent bearish MACD signals and a stable RSI indicate that the AUD/USD pair will continue to decline.

 

The convergence of the 10-day moving average and the support-turned-resistance line from March 10, close to the round number 0.6700, may also threaten the most recent price recovery.

 

Even if the AUD/USD bulls are able to surpass 0.6700, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair's February-March decline, located around 0.6805, will serve as the final line of defense for the bears.

 

Alternately, a break below 0.6620 could initiate a new decline aiming for the Year-to-Date (YTD) low established in February around 0.6565.

 

Notably, the AUD/USD pair's decline beyond 0.6565 confronts multiple obstacles to the south, including the highs for October 2022 near 0.6545 and 0.6520.

 

After that, a decline to the November 2022 low of approximately 0.6275 cannot be ruled out.

 

Regardless of the recent corrective rally, the AUD/USD remains on the radar of skeptics.
