AUD/USD falls toward 0.6930 as the Australian Dollar (AUD) loses traction despite last week's economic stabilization in China.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil rises toward $72 per barrel as renewed tensions with Iran revive supply concerns. Reports that Iran warned negotiations would not begin if threats continue kept markets alert, especially after this week's hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz.
