EUR/USD bounced to 1.1654 (+0.31%) as the dollar slipped on Hormuz ceasefire optimism, even after US strikes complicated the picture. Range traded tight all session as traders weighed conflicting Iran headlines.

Euro is the cleanest dollar-funded carry when oil-driven dollar strength fades. With DXY at 98.99 and US10Y near 4.46%, the relief rally favors EUR over higher-beta crosses while geopolitical resolution remains uncertain.

EU CPI flash print tomorrow is the main catalyst — ECB pricing still hinges on services inflation stickiness. 1.1700 caps upside; a clean Hormuz deal headline could push there. Loss of 1.1600 reopens 1.1550.

Meta closed unchanged at $635.29 as Instagram/Facebook/WhatsApp subscription chatter went sideways. Anthropic $1T valuation headlines redirected AI-capex attention away from in-house Meta spend.

META is in a holding pattern — fundamentals are fine, but the marginal AI capex narrative is rotating to pure-plays (Anthropic, Micron) over hyperscalers. Subscription monetization story is too early to price.

Any concrete subscription pricing detail; Reality Labs Q2 read-through. $640 caps; support $625. PCE Friday matters less for META than for rate-sensitive peers.
