USD/JPY
The USD/JPY pair has slipped vertically to near 140.00 in the Asian session. The downside move in the asset is backed by a sheer sell-off in the US Dollar Index (DXY).

AUD/USD
The AUD/USD pair has jumped to near 0.6550 after a volatile action, which was inspired by the sheer gyration in the US Dollar Index (DXY) in the Asian session. The Aussie asset is expected to remain in action ahead amid the release of the Australian monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) (April) data, which is scheduled for Wednesday.

USD/CHF
USD/CHF drops for the third consecutive day after refreshing a multi-week high as it prints mild losses around 0.9035 amid early Tuesday morning in Europe. Swiss Franc (CHF) buyers cheer the broad US Dollar pullback amid mildly upbeat sentiment. Also likely to have favored the pair sellers could be the consolidation ahead of today’s key Swiss Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data for the first quarter (Q1) of 2023, as well as the US Conference Board’s (CB) Consumer Confidence for May.
CRUDE OIL
Oil prices reversed early gains to trade lower on Tuesday as fears of more interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and slowing economic growth largely offset optimism over raising the U.S. debt ceiling.
Gold price witnessed extreme selling pressure after a short-lived pullback move to near $1,946.70 in the Asian session. The precious metal has extended its downside journey to near $1,940.00 as the US Dollar Index (DXY) has recovered its entire losses and is aiming to print afresh day high above 104.34.
