The US dollar stayed soft overnight on worries sparked by the US president's eldest son Donald Trump Jr's release of emails on Tuesday that some news reports said could be a "smoking gun" for the special counsel investigating allegations of the Trump campaign's collusion with Russia. Asian stock markets were mixed while gold and oil prices firmed.

From the FloorTF
Shares of social media giant Snap Inc. fell 9% to new lows below $16/share as the firm's own underwriter, Morgan Stanley, issued a downgrade and as competition from the likes of Instagram complicates its outlook. Meanwhile, oil prices are shooting higher and USD is weaker across the board.

FX UpdateTF
Stops were triggered in EURUSD above 1.1450 on the reaction to political revelations about the Trump campaign yesterday but we’re unsure of the quality of that break until we get a look at Fed chief Janet Yellen’s testimony today. The market remains remarkably complacent on the risk of Fed hawkishness.
