Forex Market Snapshot
A bit of a disconnect with the USD trading firmer while US stocks firm as well (US500 retesting its record high, NAS100 still below its all-time high) and crude oil bounces after backing off from yesterday’s highs..
EURUSD has been an underperformer with EURGBP selling weighing on the currency while GBPUSD follows with a lag.
So watch the cross and EURUSD 1.17 (psychological) with key supports below it.

Market Update
JP made a good point: Crude oil is just the tool. Geopolitics is the core.
Current correlations… oil setting the tone… EURUSD follows lUS stocks with slight lag (support 1.1722) while oil has steadied after sharp gains (Note, US500 is below 7372, NAS100 below 29140… see earlier updates).
