June 9th - Existing home sales in the U.S. accelerated in May, reaching their highest level this year, injecting optimism into a lackluster spring sales season. Newly released data shows that existing home sales rose at an annualized monthly rate of 3.2% in May, with a total annualized sales volume of 4.17 million units. Lawrence Yu, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), stated, "More and more Americans are moving, and home sales have risen to their highest level since December of last year. This is good news for the housing market and the economy."U.S. Energy Secretary Wright: Oil exports from the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf will increase.Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff: We are ready to immediately return to the fight against Iran. The recent attacks on Iran are a prelude to a more powerful and severe blow.Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff: Our forces are on alert and will take action against any detected threats.June 9th - TD Securities predicts that the upcoming US May CPI report will confirm that inflation is slowing but remains stubbornly high. The firm expects the US May core CPI month-on-month rate to fall to 0.23%, with the year-on-year rate remaining flat at 2.8%; the overall CPI month-on-month rate will fall to 0.4%, while the year-on-year rate will rise to 4.2%. Looking at the sub-categories, commodity prices are expected to rise 0.13% month-on-month in May, in line with the three-month average. Core goods, excluding automobiles, contributed the majority of the increase, with categories such as home furnishings and clothing also showing increases. A further decline in used car prices is expected to partially offset this increase. Furthermore, the continued transmission of the oil price shock and tariff effects is expected to push core inflation to around 3.0% year-on-year in June. There is an upside risk if aviation fuel costs are passed on to airfares at a greater-than-expected rate. Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, core inflation is not expected to see a meaningful decline. Prices of core goods, excluding automobiles, will continue to show strength, while housing costs will normalize from their high levels.

AUD/USD RBA Continuation of the upswing is predicated upon breaching the 0.7045-50 resistance area

The MACD and RSI indicators favor purchasers, but the RBA controls the market. AUD/USD trades between 0.7025 and 0.7030 during the midday Asian session on Tuesday. Traders anticipate the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) Interest Rate Decision as the Aussie pair flirts with a significant northward resistance level.

 

In addition to the confluence of the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) and the downward sloping trend line from April 20, AUD/USD bulls face the risk that the RBA may refrain from making too aggressive statements due to widespread recession concerns.

 

Notably, the early MACD signals and the RSI (14), which are not overbought, encourage AUD/USD buyers. Continuous trading above April's downward-sloping resistance line, which is currently 0.6910 support, is on the same line.

 

Should the downward swings push the quote below 0.6910, the mid-June and May lows of 0.6850 and 0.6830, respectively, will test the pair's further slide before reversing to the yearly low of 0.6680.

 

In contrast, a successful break over the 0.7050 resistance level requires confirmation from the June 16 swing high around 0.7070 prior to driving AUD/USD prices towards the 50 percent and 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement levels of the April-July drop, near 0.7175 and 0.7300, respectively.
