For now, Aussie and Dollar are the strongest one for the day, followed by Canadian. Euro is mixed, helped by recovery against Swiss Franc. Gold recovers quickly after initial dip and it's struggling to get a clear direction. WTI oil is trying to defend 110 handle.

Next medium term target is 61.8% projection of 2.0840 to 1.7412 from 1.9218 at 1.7099. GBP/USD might also trying to catch up and break through 1.2999 near term support to resume larger down trend.
