the US stock market is down on the day, but off the session lows.

The S&P 500 index is down 6.5 points were my 0.31%. It was down about 14-15 points at the lows.  The high was near unchanged to +1. So current prices are near the midpoint.

The NASDAQ composite index is down  -0.8%, down -38 points. Like the S&P things were worse.  At the lows, the index was down around -52 points.

In the currency markets, the GBPUSD has push back above the 100 day moving average at 1.43498. In currently trades at 1.4378. 

The EURUSD is slower to react. but it currently is testing the 200 hour moving average of 1.12859.  There is other resistance up at 1.1300.  The high from June 15 came in at 1.1297.
