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.

Nvidia gained 0.78% to $214.25 in a mixed AI-name session. Yahoo Finance ran a 'bubble' segment on the AI trade; Micron's 850% YTD run highlighted memory leverage, not chip-design weakness.

$220 is the resistance to break for a clean leg higher. PCE Friday + any data-center capex commentary from cloud-provider guides. Support $208; loss opens $200.
