[MARKET UPDATE] Crude benchmarks slip around USD 1/bbl as US participants emerge; European bourses mark session highs, high-beta FX outperforms

This move, alongside European equities reaching session highs and high-beta currencies outperforming, indicates a risk-on sentiment that could impact future commodity pricing, particularly if the equity momentum continues.
