• AUD/USD  jumped nearly 1.31% on Wednesday in a broad-based rally after the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefirer.

• U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to a ceasefire with Iran, driving oil prices below $100 a barrel and lifting assets in oil-dependent Asian economies.

• The Reserve Bank of Australia has   hiked rates by a total 50 basis points to 4.10% as inflation has been stubbornly stuck well above its target range of 2% to 3%.

•Markets imply a 55% chance of another quarter-point rise in May, though that was down from near 70% last week, and see rates at 4.61% by year-end.

•  Immediate resistance is located at 0.7069( 38.2%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 0.7127 (23.6%fib).

•  Support is seen at 0.6982(50%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 0.6889(61.8%fib)
