WTI jumped 1.7% to $93.76 as fresh Middle East hostilities and Strait of Hormuz risk revived the supply premium.

Geopolitics, not demand, is driving crude — and an oil spike complicates the inflation picture the Fed is already watching.

$95 is the next resistance; de-escalation headlines could quickly unwind the premium back toward $90.

EUR/USD held flat at 1.1631 as a firmer dollar from the crypto-driven risk-off capped the euro near the middle of its recent range.

DXY at 99.2 is still historically soft, so the ECB-Fed rate gap keeps EUR bid on dips, but upside momentum has stalled around 1.1600.

1.1600 is the line in the sand; a break opens 1.1530. Reclaiming 1.1700 is needed to revive the bull case.
