The US500 is currently at 3900 with key support at 3820 and resistance at 3975, tthe GER40 is at 13170 in limbo between 13,118 and 13,564-13,600. For a clearer direction.
The G7 vowed to stand with Ukraine "for as long as it takes", as a Russian missiles hit a shopping center.

Tokyo is suffering the worst heat wave in June in 150 years and could suffer shortages of electricity.
The TRY lost after yesterdays intervention at 16.55 but stronger than the last few weeks.
Todays key event will be the US Consumer confidence at 16:00, the G7 Meeting will conclude and the ECB summit will kick off in Portugal with possibly market moving comments. Half year adjustments can also be expected the next days.
