US President Trump: Iran will no longer be able to mock the United States.According to Saudi media alhadath, citing Israeli media reports, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will speak with US President Trump by phone tonight.The Azov Brigade of Ukraine claimed that it used AI-assisted drones to strike deep into Russian-controlled Mariupol, hitting targets 160 kilometers behind the front lines. The Azov Brigade stated that this was a symbolic "return" to the city.On May 11, French President Emmanuel Macron, who was visiting Kenya on May 10, stated that France had "never considered" any "deployment" in the Strait of Hormuz. In response to plans by France and the UK to send additional warships to the Red Sea and the waters surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi posted on social media on May 10 that any external military deployment under the guise of "protecting shipping" would "no less exacerbate the crisis and militarize this crucial waterway." Only Iran can guarantee the security of the strait and will not allow any country to interfere.On May 11, following reports that Iran had responded to the US ceasefire proposal, Sultan Barakat, a professor at Hamad bin Khalifa University in Qatar, warned against expecting a swift breakthrough in negotiations. Barakat stated that a comprehensive peace agreement is still a long way off, and this should not be considered the end of the US-Iran conflict for an extended period. He pointed out that Iran has accumulated considerable resentment during the war; the deaths of its supreme leader and his family, numerous senior officials, and the immense destruction caused by the war have made it difficult for the Iranian people to trust the United States. However, both sides hope to extend the ceasefire as long as possible and use it as a starting point for gradually resolving various issues through negotiations. Barakat noted that Iran initially hoped for a comprehensive peace agreement but has now shifted to a phased approach. He speculated that Iran might want to restore navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and propose a joint oversight plan with the US.

USD/JPY Price Analysis: To consolidate as a doji near the YTD highs near 125.70 looms

  • Despite its strong association with US Treasury yields, the USD/JPY trades in a range of 125.30 to 70.

  • Forecast for the USD/JPY exchange price: Although the bias remains upward, a doji near the year-to-date highs might pave the way for lower prices.

 

As the Asian Pacific day begins, USD/JPY is practically flat, up 0.05 percent, but still short of the YTD highs near 125.77, as Tuesday's price action formed a doji, implying indecision. The USD/JPY is now trading at 125.48.

 

On Tuesday, the USD/JPY hovered above 125.45 but fell rapidly on the release of mixed US inflation readings, albeit hotter than expected; the numbers were in line with forecasts.

USD/JPY Forecast: Technical Price

The USD/JPY is now trending upward, as indicated by the daily chart. A doji near the YTD highs, on the other hand, may pave the way for a correction down.

 

Meanwhile, the USD/JPY 1-hour chart indicates the pair has established a double top, but the pair may stabilize in the 125.30-77 range after breaking over 125.35.

 

The initial upward resistance for the USD/JPY would be 125.56. A break of the latter would reveal the convergence of the YTD high and the R1 daily pivot point near 125.77-80. Once cleared, 126.00 would be the next line of defense for JPY bulls.

 

On the other hand, the initial level of support for the USD/JPY would be the confluence of the 50-hour simple moving average (SMA) and the daily pivot at 125.28-30. A strong break would pave the way to the S1 daily pivot level of 124.81, followed by the 100-hour SMA level of 124.64.
