The dollar was beaten down earlier in the day with yesterday's respite seemingly short-lived. However, the greenback is recovering some poise today to keep nearly little changed with some profit-taking seen in gold and silver as well. All of this comes as we see precious metals cool from the highs seen in the early hours of Europe. Elsewhere, European equities are showing signs of a rebound after the drop yesterday. As for US futures, tech shares are holding firmer at the balance after key earnings yesterday from Microsoft, Meta, and Tesla.
