So far, the risk mood is looking in better shape than it was a few hours ago and that could spur some confidence in dip buyers as we look towards North American trading.

If anything, just be mindful of Fed chair Powell’s speech later but we already got the gist of what he has to say later today here.
In the currencies space though, the dollar is keeping a little firmer but gains have been trimmed in the past hour or so. EUR/USD is still lower at 1.1740 but off earlier lows of 1.1720. Meanwhile, AUD/USD is slightly lower at 0.7213 but off earlier lows of 0.7178.
