Oil prices fall on hopes for peace talks in the Middle East and stocks retreat from their record highs. Australia’s imports jump in March as data centre equipment and oil values rise. And the Aussie dollar is trading at its highest level since 2022. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ Head of FX Research Mahjabeen Zaman explains why the International Monetary Fund may be taking notice of Yen intervention.
