Aussie rises as Wall Street gains and key Fed meeting looms ahead

Market mood is positive as Wall Street finished Monday’s session modestly in the green while traders brace for the upcoming Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting. A slight de-escalation of the Middle East conflict was also cheered by investors awaiting the earnings releases of US mega-cap companies throughout the week.

Iran proposed a three-step negotiation process to Washington to end the conflict. The first step would be to end the war immediately and receive guarantees; the second would be the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz; and the third would be discussing nuclear issues.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump canceled his envoy’s trip to Pakistan, suggesting it would be a waste of time. Reuters reported that Trump is discussing Iran’s proposal with his top national security aides on Monday, after negotiations stalled last week when Iran failed to attend the talks.

The Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting, which begins on Tuesday and ends on April 29, will include the unveiling of the monetary policy statement and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s last press conference as the US central bank’s chief.

Jerome Powell is expected to be asked about his future at the Fed. Although his tenure as the Chairman of the Board ends on May 15, his term at the Fed would end on January 31, 2028.

Ahead, Tuesday’s economic docket in Australia would be absent. Yet on Wednesday, traders will eye the release of inflation figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

In the US, the economic docket will feature the ADP Employment Change 4-week average, housing data, and the Conference Board (CB) Consumer Confidence survey for April.
